I have a 1280X1024 native resolution LCD (Starlogic Model ???17ANA.)

My main PC crashed last week so I pulled a spare PC out of the closet to use.

My main PC has an ATI Radeon 9800 graphics card. I ran it at 1280X1024 resolution on the Starlogic LCD.

The spare PC has an ATI Radeon 9500 graphics card. When I set the resolution to 1280 X 1024 the screen 'pans'...i.e. part of the viewable area of the screen is always outside the boundaries of the monitor. It pans around as you move your mouse around.

If I set tit to 1024 X 768 then 100% shows up on the monitor. however the quality is poor since teh monitor resolution is native 1280 X 1024.

Any ideas what is going on? I have replaced the monitor driver a few times and have the latest ATI drivers installed.

Did you uninstall the drivers for your 9800 and do a fresh installation for the 9500?

It's a completely different PC - the PC with the 9800 is 'dead' and not plugged into the monitor at this point.

The spare PC had been sitting unused for about a year so I did do a driver update when I powered it on- I downloaded the newest drivers from ATI and installed them. Also tried a few differnt monitor drivers but that doesn't help; it still scrolls/pans the screen at any resolution higher than 1024X768.
