Sorry I gave the impression that I was using XP. I am actually using WinNT4 (SP6a). VGA mode will NOT allow me to change the refresh rate - "hardware default refresh" is all I can have. Today, I let WinBlows use "standard VGA adaptor" and this has given me a readable screen - 640x480 16 colours is the best I am allowed regardless of the driver I install from the CD (sigh). I guess it is a registry problem? Maybe? Or just Win rubbish behaviour? In this situation I am not confident that even putting the 17" monitor back would help.
