- The video driver package includes an utility which can be used to fixe the
- centering problem of the monitor. For example, speedstar supplies VMODE.COM
- (or .exe?) which I used to fix a similar problem like you stated of my
- IDEK Iiyama (17") monitor. This centering and adjusting utility can be
- activated from the 'custom' option of the 'monitor' menu. It also allows
- one to choose from a list of compatible monitors (e.g., NEC or Nanao etc.).
- If your video driver disk includes such an utility (I think it does), give it
- a shot and let us know what happens (including other solutions you
- come up with). Thanks, Anis.
