Monitor Settings first 1. Right click on a blank spot on your desktop 2. Click Properties in the drop-down menu 3. Click Settings tab 4. Try to set True Color (24bit) or True Color (32 bit) You will want to try to set it as high as you possibly can 5. Change Screen area to 1024 X 768 pixels You can also check color correction (gamma) 6. Click on the advanced button. 7. Click on Color tab 8. Click on Default 9. Click Apply If you can't change items in step 4 and 5 then your video card is either not properly set up or you don't have the latest drivers. ZiifNet has a test on-line you can try. This will determine if you really have a monitor problem. http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/features/monitorsbig/test/egs1024.htm -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
