You might look in to looking up your monitor's specs. Finding the H-sync value and the V-sync value would be good. Just get on the web to your favorite search engien and enter in it's manufacturer/model. By the way, it might not be good for your hardware to leave it flickering for too long. -Spike Gronim sporkl@ix.netcom.com The majority only rules those who let them.
