Thanks for the replies ... I will look into the video card drivers, however
.... the monitor was working just fine under XP. Do I need a different driver
for Vista? Or did installing Vista cause the system to choose a generic
driver instead of the original that I'd been using under XP? One last
question ... how do I determine what type video card it is .. and what's the
right driver? Thanks in advance for any assistance ... sorry to be such a
rookie at all of this ...
