[Cube] Graphics card - toast??

[Bruce Carr]

Riba:
Thank-you for your input....Presuming you are correct. I can't understand
why - if I change the resolution of the monitor in the system prefs then the
monitor is perfectly fine - except the wrong size. If I change it back then
the image goes crazy again and vise versa.
Doesn't that specific size/resolution information reside in the video card
and get output to the monitor? If the monitor was failing, wouldn't the
problem exist at all the different sizes?
Regards
Bruce
