Monitor Problem

I just got a used monitor and I am having problems with it.
The screen flickers and after I play games and exit back to the desktop, wavy lines go down my screen and the only way to get rid of them is to restart.

It is a Silicon Graphics (SGI) GDM-20E21 The tube is made by Sony and I believe that number is GDM-20E03.

WinME uses a generic plug and play driver for it.

Does anyone know where I can get the drivers for it? I laready tried Sony, SGI, Windrivers, and winfiles. Also where are the refresh settings for the monitor? I can change the adapter settings (v5 5500) in display properties but I thought that there were more settings somewhere else, I just can't remember where.

It seemed to work fine when hooked up to the other owners old dell with a stb velocity graphics card. WinME uses a generic driver. On my old IBM monitor I was able to adjust the refresh rate somewhere. I can't find where to adjust it with this monitor. I think if I had the correct Sony drivers I would be able to adjust it, but I can't find them.

This only happens after I exit games. It works fine in plain old windows. Which makes me think it is just a driver/refresh setting.



I just copy-pasted this from HWC cause I'm lazy 😀
