Auto-adjust should configure the monitor so that the image is perfectly positioned. And once adjusted it should keep that setting. You shouldn't have to use any other utility.
What screen resolution are you running at the computer? Should be 1280x1024, but if not, set it to that, and try auto-adjust again. Check your refresh rate also and make sure it's in the range accepted by the monitor. If it still doesn't work correctly, there is something wrong - with either the monitor or the video card. I'd try the monitor with a different computer to determine which.

Recently I touched the wrong button on my 17" Samsun SyncMaster 712N LCD monitor so that the Auto-Adjust function was activated. This "adjustment" moved the screen such that I had to use the monitor panel controls to move the image "down" (the WinXP SP2 taskbar was approximately mid-screen). The viewing screen was also too wide so that I couldn't see the Start button nor the time at the bottom corners. I "fixed" this problem by using a tool called NVKeystone (which came with the nVidia G-Force FX 5200 128MB video card I'm using) to resize the viewing screen. I can now see all the corners.... however, each time I start my system I have to use again use NVKeystone. I've also noticed that when I've been working on a document in WordPerfect, go away for awhile, and then return to my document, the image quickly "resizes" itself to the proper size. My question: is there a way to resize/save the image I see on the monitor so that I don't have to keep adjusting it on each restart? Is it better to use the nVidia video card software or the Samsung monitor controls? If I should be using the nVidia tools, then am I using the right tool (eg, NVKeystone)?
