Subject: Narrowed Screen

Question
Hi,

Good day!

The screen of the monitor appears narrow. Do you think the problem is either from the video card or the monitor itself?

I recently added a 256MB memory stick from the existing 128MB stick and it has also run normally for 4 days now until the problem has appeared. Thanks!

Answer
HI Fren,

There is a chance your monitor has a problem with the horizontal scan. Try changing the resolution in your scren settings. If it is still narrow, try adjusting the monitor controls. If the image cannot reach the sides, the monitor is the problem. It may be fixed, but probably a new monitor is a cheaper option if you stick with CRTs.

Ricardo
