Hi
I am not sure if i am in right place.I have dell dimension 3000 with window xp home sp 2 and intel celeron cpu.Recently i am having a problem with its display.If I set 1280x1024 resolution the monitor screen starts jumping vertically though my monitor supports the resolution .I can set all other resolutions including higher resolutions that my monitor supports.I have a compaq p110 crt monitor with flat screen and intel(r)82865g graphics controller.I fail to comprehend the problem.any help is welcome.

I'm not sure this is your problem, but I had an old moniter that wouldn't set to 800 x 600 so I reinstalled the video drivers and it worked just fine. Might try that.

interesting problem there. Why dont you update the monitor drivers. Please get the latest drivers first(monitor - videocard) . Have you been experiencing any kind of a videocard problem lately ? As well you can use default monitor or plug in play monitor options too. Won't hurt to try. right click on desktop - properties - settings - advanced - monitor tab - properties - driver tab - update driver . try automaticly option first. if you dont get a positive result try saying no not this time - next - install from a list or a spesific location - next - dont search... - next - and chose whatever you have in the list. (most likely plug and play monitor and default monitor. )

As per your suggestion I tried updating monitor drivers:I see two in add hardware wizard namely plug and play monitor & compaq p110 (which is my default monitor).but the problem remains.Here I would like to tell that when i clicked driver details in monitor tab it tells me 'no driver files are required or are loaded for this monitor'.I tried finding latest drivers on web but I have the latest driver for graphics controller already.Also I never had a problem with video card before .

ok. lets change the screen refresh rate then. try 60 hertz or 65 hertz. then try changing the resolution. should work.

Thanks for your response.but the problem is my monitor supports only 75 hz & 85 hz in 1280x1024 resolution(correct me if i am wrong).I figured that by reaching properties-settings-advanced-intel graphics-properties-monitor.still i changed the screen refresh rate to 60 hz but problem persists.As regards second monitor I never thought about that.I am going to try it this sunday.
