I have tried the other resolutions without success and cuurrently running on 1024 x 768. I tried 1280x1024 and, like a number of other resolutions this is either beyond the monitor or video card because I get the 'input data not compatable' dialog box. In desperation, because I've got to finish preparing some artwork for my printer, I've swapped over with the old CRT from my second computer. Cheers, Gary
