    Ok...I am just going to make one simple recommendation. Uninstall Windows ME, go out and get yourself Windows 98SE. (Windows XP is not recommended due to the age of your system & the performance requirements).

    ME was the worst OS ever put out by microsoft with exception to Windows 95.

    It is inefficient, incredibly buggy, hogs memory like the cookie monster eats cookies and made the acronym BSOD a household name (Blue Screen of Death)


    you will find yourself a lot more pleased with that OS installed.

    In addition, your monitor (B1570MNSL) I would suggest you shell out $50 (at the minimum) and get a decent monitor. With a max 1024x768 res/60Hz not only is it tiny, the refresh rate alone will give you headaches.

    Most likely the OS is forcing a 1024X768@75HZ when you are booting and that is causing your synch problems.

    boot into windows Safe mode. remove all drivers for the video card, look in add-remove programs to verify there is nothing hanging around there & reboot & re-install the drivers for your card.
