anyway i set it up as a standard 1024x768 svga it works fine in 1024x768 but it wont do 800x600 or 640x480...because its trying to do higher than 60hz refresh rate...my old monitor had a check box in XP to click to disable to reses it cant do..but this one doesnt...is there someway to limit it only to 60hz so i can use games that use 640x480 for htere menues etc cause its all doubled and lined and fuzzen about and i cant see sheeet when its in anything but 1024x768

isn't there like a List All Modes function in Winxp ... you can then select your resolution and the available refresh rates.... go to Display Properties, Settings Tab, Advanced button, Adapter tab, then List All Modes button.

go to download.com or search google for a program called powerstrip. Intall it and then play with it. It has settings for your monitor where you can set the monitor to always use a certain refresh rate with a certain res. I could not get my monitor to go to 85hz in 1600x1200 and was able to force it to go that high (yes, my monitor can take it as it does 75hz in 1800x1440) Anyway, try that program and see how it works
