Often the problem is in the monitor section. You need to enter the exact specs of your monitor in many cases. In the case of my Philips 107s21, I have to reduce these values a little to get the higher resolutions for some reason. I could not figure out why. I just kept tweaking the monitor vert/horz values until it worked. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
