Monitor Question

Post by Liquidman »

Hey, it's me with another problem (I really should learn to fix my own problems, but I have you) :) . Anyway, it's kind of a minor thing but it's annoying. Every time I leave the computer and come back later, the moniter is all screwed up. The picture changes size and position; sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, but always different from what it was when I left. I know some of my friends' old monitors have had similar problems. Even after I centre the sceen again, the splash screen on boot up is always up and to the left. I thought of two things that could be causing this:

1. Maybe this is happening because the monitor is kind of old
2. Maybe somebody in my house is playing a joke on me

I ruled out 2 because nobody in my house knows how to change the screen.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

P.S. The monitor is a Hansol B17BL

I have not a clue, but I have a 1 year old CRT monitor and it used to do some really odd stuff when I had my video card in and just freshly installed xp.... Maybe your settings keep hitting default everytime you turn it on, mine did the same thing, if I were to reset it right now... it would look crazy...
