Hi All, Situation: user of WIN98 box, attempts to set monitor screen resolution to 800 x 600. For some reason, this monitor looks squiggly when that selection is made, even though the monitor is SVGA and should easily accept it - he clicks Yes in the message box asking if he wants to keep the setting. Now, the screen is fairly scrambled - vertical rainbow sort of effect - I think rather like the rolling of a TV screen when the vertical and horizontal holds don't work right. Waiting a few moments for Windows to decide the setting is no good didn't help. Rebooting didn't help. Is there a way one of you knows about to return the resolution setting to one this monitor will accept? I'm thinking about dragging a spare monitor that I know works at the 800 x 600 resolution, plugging that in, resetting the resolution, and swapping back his old monitor. Any other ideas? Thanks, Tina
