After reinstalling win98 I am unable to change any of the monitor settings. The monitor was recongnized as a plug and play monitor by win98. Unfortunately the monitor is old and I have no software or drivers. The monitor was sold and packaged under the name of a secondary retailer who is no longer in business. So unfortunately I cannot determine who manufactured the monitor. Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to buy another monitor when this one works just fine. Thanks

I had the same problem, and this handy little tool fixed it. Although I have installed drivers for the monitor as well.. I hope it works for you. Good luck :)

Thanks PilotronX and ConfusedBW. I loaded the drivers for the graphics card and then I used the device tool that PilotronX suggested to tweek the settings. Everything seems to be functioning fine now. Thanks for all your help. I thought I was SOL and was going to have to replace a perfectly good monitor. :)
