| | Monitor resolution I am using a new Vista machine with my old 20" monitor. I like the resolution to be set at 1152x864 because of my old eyes. When I start the machine, there is a vertical strip on the right side with no image. I then change the resolution to another setting which restores the picture. I can then return to 1152x864. Is there a setting I can make to get the image to come up properly on the 1152x864 resolution? I had no trouble with the monitor when I was using win 98 (and using a setting of 800x600 which is close to the 1152x864 in Vista for some reason). Thanks Drew |

Are you sure that this vertical strip on the right has nothing to do with Sidebar malfunctioning? Does the Sidebar appear there, or has it been disabled? ss |

| | Re: Monitor resolution What is the maximum refresh rate the monitor will handle? Make sure you don't have the video card to exceed that. There is a big difference in 800x600 than 1152X848 lol.
