i have an oldish 14" compaq screen which has a horisontal frequency of 31 - 50 kHz and vertical of 50 - 90 Hz. when i use the 640x480 resolution it squishes the image on the screen horizontally, is this due to the frequencies? can i get the image to be normal? |

just use the monitor contols to stretch the screen back out. if it has none then use the video drivers display adjustments. |

It might just be that it's an "oldish" monitor. I'm not responding to adjustments very well either. :D |

What resolutions work OK? Presumably 800 x 600 - any others?
It could be a bum driver for monitor or video card - are you using the latest? If you happen to be using an Avance video card that might be the trouble. I have read some strong criticism of the driver quality of these, and have one which locks up Control Panel if I try to access the refresh rate adjustment. |

nah nah, its all good in other resolutions, even lower than 640x480. im using a geforce 4 mx. my gfnds computer has exactly the same video card and when using this screen the 640x480 resolution isnt screwed. im guessing its because xp is smarter than 98se and it can see that the screen cant handle so it changes the refresh rate in that resolution? |

how could i manually change the refresh rates for different resolutions? |
