Problem with monitor?

[plastic]

Hi,

I have a problem with my monitor. Almost everytime I start the computer the screen size is either too large or too small, so I have to use the zoom thing on the monitor to get the right size. It also seems to happen when I play games in fullscreen mode (in different resolution than my desktop). I've tried several of different graphic card drivers so I doubt that's the problem. It might be the monitor, it's 3 years old soon and not that good, but it worked properly to my old computer. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem once in a while (usually when my PC re-boots) and i've found that changing the screen refresh rate and then back again sorts it out.

it could also be your monitor not storing the position try borrowing a friends monito and see if it does the same

The monitor does store the positions, so that isn't the problem. I have a radeon 9600 pro, maybe there is something in the ATi Control Panel that can sort this out?

Happened to me a while back te monitor sounds nackered.
But id try a replacement just in case.
Alternatively it will eventually pop and u have to buy a new one anyhow.
