1. started computer yesterday
2. monitor was blank. (it was on) when i went to hit power button, it wouldnt shut off.
3. shut off computer and unplugged monitor, plugged back in monitor, started computer
4. everything works, but when i first started it up after this, my displays were all different and needed to be adjusted (size of screen, brightness, contrast, etc)
5. Main problem/annoyance: when i start it up and now when i shut it down, a small display comes up (like the ones when you hit the buttons on the monitor to change contrast, brightness, etc) which says "new mode" and has v hold and h hold, and the numbers keep changing every time it comes up. the numbers are something like the h freq 46.7khz says and the v freq says 75.0Hz, and these numbers change everytime it shows me this. it seems that every time i go into windows (startup) and leave windows (shutdown) just want to know why this is doing this now so often ? why is it telling me this ?
does it mean something is wrong with the monitor ? is this ok if i let it continue ? everything else seems ok. all programs seem like they run fine. it seems like this comes up every time i go into or out of windows, like the screen has to adjust its settings or something, i just dont know why.
another note, it since the day i got it, the monitor has always done this (displays the box "new mode" with h freq and v freq numbers) right at the beginning when i first turn on the computer. but now it does it twice when i start it up and now once when i turn it off. i have a gateway, bought 2/98. talking to a friend who has a gateway, he says the same thing, his does it once in awhile, where that monitor screen comes up, but not as frequently as i am having trouble with now.
gateway support lead me down different paths (twice), once wiht the temp files which is another question i posted before (deleteme.exe) i think they think its a virus, but i am not sure.
