Exclamation Need help with display
Today i got on my computer like any normal day exceept when i turned it on i get a message from my monitor that says "MODE NOT SUPPORTED". All my desktop icons are rearranged and everything looks a bit squished. My video card is a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT and my monitor is a 22" KDS monitor and my display resolution is 1600 by 1200. Whatever i do i got this message and it is getting very annoying. The only way i know to get rid of it is to turn down the resolution but everything still looks weird. I just tried a system restore but it had no effect. Anyone know what to do?

Make sure your refresh rate is 60 Hz. On CRT monitors this has a significant effect. I've never really experimented with LCDs.

You should try selecting the resolution and refresh rate within the NVIDIA Control Panel.
