Undersized Monitor Display

Hello All,

Any suggestions on where to start with this problem?

The display on my monitor is consistently undersized and slightly off
center. I've switched monitors and it doesn't help, so it's not the
monitor itself. I've also tried reinstalling the drivers for my
nVidia Riva TnT, but to no effect. Even when there are no drivers
installed at all, and windows just uses some default VGA display
adaptor, it happens. Maybe it's the cable...

On bootup, the first thing displayed is the video card info, which is
badly misaligned. But then the megatrends screen seems perfect. When
it goes to the bios info, and the breakdown of all my IRQs and stuff,
it's misaligned again. Then when windows 98SE fires up, it seems to
be misaligned in a different way. The misalignment is minor, but the
display is vastly undersized for the screen. Perhaps it's the wrong
monitor installed, but I sure don't think so...

Any ideas?

Thanks a million.

Hans

have you adjusted settings on the monitor itself? you will need to adjust
the horizontal size & position, and the vertical size & position as well.

virtually no CRT monitors go from end-to-end out of the box - you need to
make adjustments on the monitor itself to get the most out of the full
screen size.
