19' M992 screen size is shrinking

Question

19' flat CRT dell M992 monitor nvidia geforce4 ti4600 graphics card windows xp home dell dimension 8200   The screen width of my M992 keeps shrinking...  I can't really tell what causes it to happen.  It's been happening continuously for a while, maybe even since it was new.  I'll come to the computer and the screen will be slightly narrower..  Until now it hasn't really been a problem because I could just increase the width setting in the on-screen menu.  That's at 100% now though, and the screen keeps shrinking.  Now there's about an inch of black on either side of the screen.   Anyone know of any way to get my screen to reset itself?  I've tried the reset option in the on-screen menu, but it didn't help.

There definately is a technical fault with the monitor, we had a similar problem with a television at home where by the screen kept shrinking and it got to the stage where there was no picture at all. If it's still under warranty I would contact Dell and report the problem, or if it's out of warranty you could consult your local monitor repair store.

I have the same problem with my M992. The edges on both sides are about two inches in now.Does Dell monitor this forum ? If so, have they come up with a solution or answer ? I know this discusiion was a long time ago but I don't see any response from Dell.

All, New one to me. Reboot into safemode. Does the picture fill the screen? Have you all removed and reinstalled your video card driver?
