Default Re: Can't use higher resolution with Topcon 10" monitor

I'm glad the problem is gone.
The interlace vs. non interlace issue was one that was most prevalent at the
800x600 resolution and analog monitors of old design or limited screen size.
A 10" monitor falls into one and possibly both. Another possible issue had
to do with the video card output signals and timing. I'm not sure how to
explain this, but some displays can "talk" digitally to the video card and
it's drivers. This can cause the video card to setup/tweak timing to match
the display. If an incompatable timing was setup, this might explain some
of your problems and results. If the display uses an older setup scheme,
such as an .inf file, the tweaking is generally done within it.

Probably the monitor worked at 800 by 600 56 Hz refresh - that was a
common refresh rate when Win95/98 was around. Also sounds like the
monitor does not have "plug-n-play" (EDID) capability, so you have to
set it manually. Try setting refresh to 56 Hz. 'Course it will have some
flicker, but that's the price of using the old cheapie....

Fuzzy and ghosty screen images will still appear after every PC boot
after XP Home entered graphics mode (after XP Home logo loaded). But I
found that if I turned off power of monitor then turned it on after a
while, the screen display could change back normal.

Now whenever I boot this PC I will turned off the monitor just after XP
Home logo appeared then turned it on again after a while.
