Go to Viewsonic's site and find the specific drivers for the monitor.  We
had a big (30") ViewSonic monitor with similar issues, and this took care of
it.  Their site isn't the easiest in the world to use, but the drivers are
there somewhere.

This is for a Win98SE machine.


This may be your problem.  If the system is good enough to merit a nice
video card and monitor, why is it still on Win98?  An upgrade to XP will
likely go a long way to fixing the problem.

Maybe the solution is to get a card from a different manufacturer.
