HUGE Display on Monitor
« on: November 01, 2005, 01:56:24 PM »
Trying to resolve the black horizontal lines on my monitor.  Thought I followed all directions listed in "Monitor Help".  Poked this and that.  Didn't fix lines (suspect a new monitor needed), but my display is now HUGE.  I poked around some more, but as my screen name implies, I haven't a clue.  

Dell PC and monitor
Windows 98

Can you help me?

Try another monitor with this computer and then try another computer with this monitor. Let's reduce the variables to find a solution.
