Have you got a driver installed for your monitor?. I know with the Voodoo 3 card, if you have an unknown monitor type, you don't get all the options. Cheers Phil -- F1 GPL Handicap: +66.44 secs F2 GPL Handicap: +159.57 secs St Eldred's Cup: -4.01 secs http://www.youpies.co.uk

I purchased a new Geforce video card that I am very hapy with. my problem is when I boot my PC it seems to default back to 640 x 800 video diplay mode even though it seems to have recognised the card in the start up screens I have my setings on 1024 x 768 It doesnt always happen about every 5 or 6th retry it seems to go to the correct mode. I have tried to re-seat the card as I thought it might be hardware related (Yes I installed the card!) Can you guys please suggest what to do
