Thanks anyhow, but I found the problem. I fiddled with my Vertical and
Horizontal refresh rates. It seems to be working ok now. The 1024x768 mode
isn't too great, but I can just use 800x600.
p.s.
No I don't have MetroX installed. I don't even know what it is. I didn't
install it because I didn't purhcase the RH CD, I just copied it. And after
all, it is a licensed copy(not mine).
