Monitor Setting Problems

Hi the way to find out if it is the monitoer or not is to set the monitor up on say 1024x768 to the correct size & width then change your windows to 800x600 and then back again if the monitor is correct in size and width it is probaly not the monitor at fault but to be sure after setting the size in 1024x768 save settings if the monitor reqires this (this also applies to above) turn off only
the monitor for 30 seconds and then back on to see if the settings have been retained if not then the monitor EEprom is probably faulty.

I don't agree. Your problem starts everytime you start up your PC. I would seriously check the driver for your video card. It may be the wrong one, or Windows isn't applying it. Right click on the desktop (without selecting an icon) and select properties to bring up the display properties. See what it says on the screen as to which video card you are using or look on the video card itself. Then search the web (usually on the manufacturers website that makes the card) and get either new/correct drivers for your card. This will fix your problem 95% of the time.

I had a similar problem with an older monitor. My video card (a GeForce2 MX) was set to Optimize. I changed the setting to Adapter Default, and the problem stopped. Try right-clicking on your desktop, selecting Properties from the drop-down box, then going to Settings, then Advanced. See if this is available, or if there is an option to adjust the refresh rate of your monitor.

Have you tried turning off support for PNP monitors?
