Hi,
Well, that's <g> a question with an obvious answer, right?
I ran the configuration program, but apparently I've not done it
properly. I selected the proper card, I think, because there was no
ambiguity about that. But I did select a generic 17" monitor because
my Vivitron isn't listed. Others have suggested Sony. What do you
think? My monitor "manual" is also vague -- at least <g> to me --
about refresh rates.
Thanks for helping.
Best,
Lance
