My dad is having a little problem with is IBM Aptiva PIII 500. We have had it for a while and he uses it for word processing and web surfing. Lately the picture on the screen has been displaying an image too big for the monitor. The image (desktop, game, Ms word, etc..) goes off the page by about 1cm on each side. I tried installing new drivers for the vid card but nothing worked. I tried all setting possible but with no avail. We then switched the monitor to a POS gateway i had lying around and it works fine. This leads me to believe there is a monitor problem. My dad wants to know of anyplace that can fix it, but i told him it would pry be better just to buy a new monitor (and comp). Before he goes out spending any money i wanted to get your opinion
Thanks in advance
