Load a dos graphics program to check the monitor display. Alternatively do you have a friend that would let you plug your monitor into their computer? This would tell you if it is a monitor fault. |

| 9292 | 2001-02-27 20:59:00 | I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say 'lopsided'. Do you mean that the display area is offset horizontally, or, do you mean the displayed area is partially rotated? Also, it would be useful to know which display mode and driver you have installed. Often Windows defaults to a standard display adaptor in 640x480x4 mode (16 colour)when it runs for the first time after installing. If this is the case, and your display is 'lopsided' then I'd be looking at the monitor. Plugging it into another PC is probably the quickest and easiest way to check it. If, however, you have the manufacturer's video drivers installed then you might, as a test, want to try running it in a basic VGA mode (640x480), or temporarily install the Standard VGA Display Driver. You could also try starting up in Safe Mode. Also, the driver software supplied with some graphic cards allow you to make on-screen adjustments to the display size and position independently of the monitor controls. These are usually accessed somewhere in Display Control Panel / Settings . |

| 9293 | 2001-02-28 06:54:00 | Hi there Have you checked to see if your table is level? Maybe one leg is broken or something is under another leg. That would result in a lopsided monitor. Have you put a spirit level on it, or let a marble run along the floor to see if your house is sliding off its piles? Or ... maybe your neck is sore... can you straighten it? Hope these ideas help...
