Is  a driver required for the LCD monitor ?

I wonder if the PC thinks its A crt display ?

if there is a difference between them ? sorry not used one but just a thought cos this may need its own driver  or be upgraded ?

if you right click screen on desktop, you should see  nvidia control panel option click on that and see if you can work though these settings, there should also be a help menu on the nvidia control panel screen

I seem to really have sorted it now, guys, thanks.  All I can guess is that the PSU blowing up corrupted several drivers, some of which were the Nvidia ones.  At least it didn't fry any hardware and I've got out of jail for about £30 and a few hours sweat.

I can't be sure anymore what the monitor resolution was before it blew up but it looks OK now on 1280 x 1024

Thanks again for all the comments - what a great boardroom.

Now can play with my new ADSL max connection, which seems to be settling down at about 5.3Mb.

TFT monitors do need to run at their native resolution as said and for a 15" this is 1024x768 17" and 19" are both 1280x1024. They will run lower but look rubbish! If you have the correct driver for your TFT it will limit this.

Well done for sorting it....
