External Monitor added to Fujitsu Lifebook N5010 stretched?

Hi all,

First post,, I'm new at this, but I've just added a GreenHouse 21.5in external monitor to my lifebook and it appears stretched. I tried improving resolution (to 1600x1200), however, it does not change the resolution only the size of the page displayed. I went through "device managers" to id the monitor and "search" to maximize drivers but got a "...current setting is best.." message. I did reboots, etc. The monitor came with no CD,, I'm set at full vs 4:3 'aspect ratio' and the monitor claims information being sent at 1280,a1024, so I'm assuming there's a problem with the signal somehow/cable is no good? Can anyone help?Thanks! -b

Quick update! Fiddled with DCR settings which improved graphics, however, it is still stretched, and the resolution is off. I'll keep fine tuning, but if anyone has any ideas, chime in!
