Wow this is real a *old* Video Card. (Don't know if they are
still build nowadays.) It could be that it is just too old
to be used with this Monitor of yours. I've got a plain 19"
LCD Monitor, but I can't hook it up to this PC with the same
card as yours. The PC: Acer Pentium II. Does the Monitor
work in combination with a newer Video Card. So it might be
that you need to get a newer AGP Card.
Other then that I can't offer you more advice.
