Hello All,
I have a computer I got about a year ago. It came with a Trident 8800
video card and a Relisys 5155 Multiscan monitor. I have been running
windows in VGA mode since I got it. Recently I decided to try it in
800x600 mode. I installed the Trident driver for that resolution and it
seems to run but the screen is really compressed. It seems to be
800x600 but the monitor has bout 2.5 inches of blank screen space to either
side of the display area. This means I'm only using about 2/3 of my
monitor area. Is this normal or do I need to upgrade something.
800x600 would be difficult to read by itself it is doubly so shrunk as
it is now. I would appreciate it if anyone with experience with such
things could help me out.

Thanks!
