Display does not align text properly

Hi I apologize in advance if this is the wrong venue, I can't figure out WHY
this is happening so if this is NOT Vista related I apologize for the
inconvenience and if possible, I would appreciate if you someone could please
re-direct me to the appropriate Website.
Let me begin my novella, I have Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 system running Vista
HP, it has 3GB RAM, 500G HD with a video adapter/card integrated in an Intel
Chipset31/33. The monitor is a Viewsonic VX2433 Model VS12324 and there
appears to be a conflict / incompatibility somewhere because the displays
does not performing properly.
Specifically, some of the pages that I view are either are cut off or
overlap and when I open some applications the lines on the display do align
properly. For example when I open Taxcut, if there is a YES and NO box to be
checked off, the YES box would line up next to the NO Box and the NO Box
would line up under the NO box (next to nothing), instead of being next to
the NO Box.
This not only is annoying but creates lots of problems especially when
working with the taxes because with the boxes do not line-up properly, I am
not sure where if I making the correct entry (when I check a box).
The Lenovo system and Viewsonic display are a couple of months old and I
updated the Vista, the Viewsonic VX2433 driver and installed the most current
Intel Chipset driver but the problem still continues.
I contacted Viewsonic and they advised me "the lining up of the boxes is
coming not from the monitor but the incoming signal (video card issue)" so it
appears that Viewsonic is advising me to purchase a new video/graphics
adapter but when I check the specs for the video adapter on the Intel
Chipset, it appears that it is capable of supporting a 16x9 format 1920x1080
display.
Lenovo has replaced the Motherboard and the Viewsonic display has been
exchanged so my guess is that whatever is causing this problem is probably
not due to defective HW but by a SW conflict and thought that it might be a
Vista problem.
I would appreciate if someone can help me figure this out / steer me in the
right direction as to WHAT is causing this problem, what can I do to fix it
and
do I really need a new video adapter (as Viewsonic suggests)?
Thank you in advance for your help guys,
Bob

Right now I don't think you have a "vista problem". You need to fill in
some blanks as to what setting and any other things you have changed and
when.
Does this only happen with the program Tax cut? If so Uninstall it and then
read the necessary help files at their web site to install it correctly.
Are there any Programs you can run that this does NOT effect? Name the
programs and their version number your having problems with.
If this happens with every program you open, you will need to check your
monitor setting. If LCD set to the native resolution.
How long has this been going on and when did this start.? You say your
Video graphics is on board. You say a New Mother board that's basically a
new computer and is it the same as the one you had?
Why did Viewsonic replace your monitor? Did you ship all this back to the
manufactures or take it to some retail geek squad?
If you have a Vista disk I personally would flatten and start over
considering the information available. But a Vista problem, I don't think
so.
