Jeff,

Thanks for the lessons you give Jean. I piggyback learning while reading
your replies.

I'll have look at that Item: pulldown menu.

I was told to change to 800x600 back in 1006 when I started using
Netscape 2 and Windows 3.1 on the internet and have just stuck with it.

My wife didn't like the little Icons on the Desktop that the high
resolution display showed.

I'll go see if I can use a higher resolution and get normal sized Icons
on the Desktop using your information that you gave to Jean.

1280x1024 at 60 cps is the resolution this monitor suggests I run it at.

I remember way back that 60 cycle resolution isn't as good as 70 or 72.

I don't know if I can change the speed on this new box or not.
I can't remember how the speed was changed on the old box with the
Orchid Fahrenheit VLB Video Card.
I remember I could adjust the ####x### in Windows 3.1, just can't
remember how to tell the video card what speed I wanted it set at.

I was very careful to get a .28 MultiSync Monitor for that old system.
I suppose this 19" HP LCD is MultiSync also and can handle higher
Vertical(?) speeds.
