Technical Assistance Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch display modes? Explain and Suggestion: Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary. Use the monitor control panel functions to adjust screen. In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necessary.
Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver. Explain and Suggestion: There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. One common reason is a monitor mis-match. Some older multi-frequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being turned off, then turned on again. If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used.
