my monitor is screwed up. :( (not actually monitor..its my computer)

can someone help me here? whayt suposed to come up on my monitor, is all too wide. like , the screen goes out beyond the side of the monitor. the start menu and clock are both cut off. i can still get to them with my mouse, but cannot see them. I'm on windows 98...anybody got any ideas?

 

does your monitor have a self-adjust feature via the menus you can access from the buttons it somewhere? you could try changing your resolution, as well.

to change your resolution, right-click on your background, go to properties, then to settings, and find the slide button there to adjust it.

 

nah, i tryed the resolution..no diff...and the bottons, do you mean to ines right on the monitor? i already used those and made it as thin as i could, and its stilll too wide.

 

does the monitor have any kind of "auto focus" ability or anything of that type? have you tried updating or rolling back your video card drivers?

do you know when/how this happened, or what might have caused it? did you install any games or anything, or play with any settings?

 

no idea what's caused it. it just started to happen a few days ago.

 

hmm...i'm not too sure what else to do at the moment...i'll think about it for a bit.

 

Rick click on the desktop. Go to properties...then settings. Adjust you screen resolution to see if it helps.

:>

 

already have..didnt hlep

 

Ok so you have tried the monitor buttons for resizing etc.. that didnt work... You have tried resolution changing and that didnt work... Have you got another monitor in you home you could try? Is the monitor a LCD (flat) or CRT (big)?

 

its big...and i do have another in the house, by my parents will bitch at me if i move it lol

 

Ok... what about moving your unit to the monitor, you only have to connect the monitor and power cable just for testing....

If your parants are going to bitch tell them that they will have to buy you a new monitor then! ; ) lol (j/k)

 

yeah, they'll actually be gone tonight..so i'll test that up and get back at ya

 

well i'll be damned...looked fine on the other monitor. does this mean my monitor is broken?

 

You actually need to try the problem monitor on the other computer. If it has the same symptoms on that computer, then it may be toast.

 

fusk..same shit.

 

bread turns into TOAST


r.i.p monitor

 

had it since like, 94...should have known better then to leave it on for aobut 3 weeks straight LOL

 

go to a computer show in your area--u can get a used one for under 100 its worth it

 

You're welcome.

 

94!! hehe... You got the time out of that one, 11+ Years! wow!

I would recomend buying a new one, maybe an LCD : )
