Couple of monitor questions
Kids bought me a new Acer monitor for my GW. Can't figure how to make
circles look round. I'm on Vista. Any ideas? Tried to hook up old monitor to replace crt on a Dell but it won't work. Machine belongs to consulting client and I don't have admin rights. Do I need them to help? They are not local. |

So what is the native resolution of this monitor supposed to be? 1280x1024 (4:3), 1440x900 (16:9), or what? If you don't know, go here to see what it is set too right now. http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/ Sounds like you are not using the right screen resolution and thus it will be too long or short in one direction depending on the setting. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Centrino Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
