Hi there. Can anyone help please?! I'm running AutoCAD 2005 on Windows 2000 Professional and have just bought a new Belinea Artistline 22" Widescreen monitor. I can't seem to adjust it to it's full resolution and the screen within AutoCAD is really squashed/stretched, i.e. a square look like a rhombus. I've updated the driver, but still no joy. Not sure if this could be a graphics card problem? I have an ATI Rage 128 card and the computer is about 5 years old. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You better check the maximum resolution that the monitor supports. (in the manual maybe) and check of the video card can support such resolution. if not, get another video card that can support such resolutions.
I used to have a 15" monitor that has a max resolution of 1024 x 768. Then i got a 19" wide screen, which is 1440 x 900. if you can see both resolutions have different ratios. that is because the monitors width and height ratios are different too. if you use the 15" monitor ratio on a wide screen, then that's what you're encountering right now.
know your hardware specs, and you can get things right.

You need a new card, the Rage wont support the wide screen . Good job is, any cheap AGP card today should do it
