Monitor Display Problem

I am using an Asus P3B-F motherboard with ATI Rage Fury graphics card and a Cybervision C92 monitor (1024x768). Problem: the horizontal size is slightly but steadily increasing and the OSD horizontal control is at its minimum setting, that is, I cant make the size any smaller. Currently I can only see "mputer" of the My Computer icon. I have updated video and monitor drivers yet this did not help. The C92 has no external adjustment controls. Not sure if this is a monitor calibration, video hardware, or software/driver problem. Any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds like the monitor is dying. Try connecting it to a different pc to rule that out. If it does not work on another pc, start shopping for a new monitor.

Paul B. you must have several different machines running?? There is an issue with ati and asus boards. I have the p3b-f with a pent3 450 which had a 1.05 bios they released a bios update to 1.06. If you have never flashed a bios then do not on this board. Here is a link to download the drivers that may help. http://thetechnozone.com/pcbuyersguide/hardware/graphics/ATI-RageFury-final.html If you have tried all this and nothing works buy a cheap video card.
