Moniter Driver
<div class="IPBDescription">Princeton LCD Flat Panel</div> I recently got a new graphics card (9800XT w00t! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) as a present. The install went fine, the drivers for it work, but there was a multimedia program that had a bar on the side of the screen that actually moved the right side of the screen off from the edge, so you can still see the whole screen without the bar blocking it. I did a "auto-adjust" on my moniter (to adjust the screen size, sharpens, etc.) and the screen went about 7 inches over to the left, so I can only see about half of the screen.
I reinstalled the graphics card drivers, and even switched to an old card, but the moniter is still messed up.
I came here to ask if anyone could help me find a new moniter driver, so I can use 1280x1024 again <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
The Princeton site had 1 driver I could find, and it's only is for CRT moniters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

the right mouse button. Select PROPERTIES from the popup menu.
2. Click the SETTINGS tab at the top of the Display Properties window
3. Click the ADVANCED button
4. Click the MONITOR tab
5. Click the PROPERTIES tab
6. Click the DRIVER tab
7. Click the UPDATE DRIVER tab
8. Click NEXT
9. Click the radio button next to "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install".
10. Click NEXT
11. Uncheck the "Show compatible hardware"
12. You should see a list of Princeton Graphic Systems models. Scroll down the list to find your model
and double-click on it.
13. Verify your model has been selected and click NEXT
14. When the Windows Logo testing warning window comes up, click "Continue Anyway".
15. Click FINISH
16. Returning to the MONITOR tab, click the down arrow in the Screen refresh rate window
and select a refresh rate. Please refer to the timing guide in the monitor users
manual and select one from the table. This gives the best operation. We strongly
advise against using the "Optimal" setting of the refresh frequency, as this often
overdrives the monitor.
18. Click on APPLY
19. Windows may display a dialog box warning about wrong refresh rates, but if you have
chosen from the timing guide in the manual, there will not be a problem. Click YES.
20. Windows will change the refresh rate and then ask if you want to keep the setting.
Click YES.
21. The new setting may result in a different image size. This is because the monitor
switched to a different preset mode. You should use the controls on the front of
the monitor to resize the image, and the monitor will automatically save the new
settings.

I'm confused on step 7 -10, It says click next but it doesn't say to check the box for, "Install the software Automaticly" or "Install from a specific location"
When you install automaticly it just says it already installed and ready to use. And the instructions dont specify how to get to step 11.
Quite an expensive present, you lucky bastid <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anyway, yeah, if the monitor has physical controls (most do) it should probably work out fine.
The great thing is I can't find the reciept, and all the smart people at Princeton have no clue how to reset it. So I'm stuck <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
