Hi,

Thanks for responding. Yes, I am running FC1. My video card is an
Intel 815. I chose the monitor setting for ViewSonic M70, but mine is
actually a G70m. However, there is no selection for it. My PC is a
Compaq Deskpro EN, PIII 866MHz. I didn't do any other tinkering my
with settings other than selecting the above in the GUI display
config.

Thanks....Paul
