Right click my computer/properties/device manager.
While you are there, click on 'performance' make sure that a dos driver is not loaded for your C drive. It will tell you if it is. Other wise it will say 'your computer is configured for optimal performance'

If everything looks ok, exit and right click on your desktop/properties/settings/advanced/monitor. make sure your monitor is listed here, if not put the correct monitor in.
While you are here click on 'adaptor' and check the refresh rate, optimal is good if you have the choice.

Let us know what you find.

It's written in an easy to understand way and it's quite interesting too.
