this is the first time this has happened. i logged out of sl (firestorm) and my ao  faintly there (green). did it damage my computer?

You mean, there is an afterimage of the AO on the screen?  This used to happen a lot with the old CRT monitors.  It's not as common with LCD monitors, but it's possible.

First, try turning off your monitor for 48 hours.  If that doesn't fix it, try downloading this screen saver: http://www.isotope244.com/files/3d-screensavers/StaticTV-Free.exe

Let it run overnight.  Then check your monitor again to see if the afterimage is still there.
