As John said, you maybe have gotten it set for a combination of settings that the monitor doesn't support. Try setting it to a very common one like 800x600 and see what that does. Then adjust it from there. If the monitor has documentation it might list the combinations it understands. Used to be that there were only a couple choices of resolution and refresh rates but now the video cards can generate a lot of combinations and not all the monitors can handle some of them. Good luck. GK On 5/9/07, Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> wrote: > Dear list: > > I got a new flat screen for a machine a couple days ago.
