Quote - I've got a brand new monitor (acer P241W LCD 24") that I hooked up yesterday, which is when I started having this problem. 

Ahhh! That was important information to know :)

Glad you managed to get it working :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
