I've just installed Windows XP on my computer, and my monitor only supports 800x600, If I put it on 1024x768 it goes blurry and the writing is hard to read. The last time I used this monitor it was on Win XP, and I never needed any drivers installed. so why am I having a problem now/

You might need to shange the refresh rate, but it really does sound like you have the wrong video card driver. It is close, because it works to a point (it isn't 640X489 vga) but it isn't all working. The drive is the first thing I would look at.

You need to:
1) Update the drivers
Failing that:
2) Test the monitor on annother computer, laptop (as an external monitor) or at a friends house to ensure it is not a software issue!
If it is a software issue and changing the drivers does not help, then it is a windows error and you should re-install the operating system (i had a similar problem with win 95 that required me to restart it like that).

Hi!
There seems to be a problem with the refresh rate. Try changing your video card refresh settings. If this doesn't work, switch to 1024*768 then go to Start>Run>dxdiag go to the last tab and down there is a button to overwrite settings (refresh ones) type either 60 or 72. When in 60Hz mode... you'll feel like using an "ancient" 14'' monitor.
Of course, you can try: PowerStrip (if I recall correctly) to enhance your video settings.
Good luck.

Hello,
go onto microsoft update and run a CUSTOM update and tick all the avalible updates possible, if that does not work then try the resolution 12400x12800 and if that does not work then refer to the owners manual or try surfing the net for possible drivers

It seems your display card has to be updated or you have not installed your xp properly.(since your monitor has supported it early)
reinstall your XP ,this might solve your problem.
