Update, I found and ran the program, that brought up a coloured screen and
said it is set at 1024 x 768 60Hz. gone back to check my display settings and
they are all the same, there is no refresh rate, just the message that it is
"use hardware default setting" is this where we give up Brian ?

In the words of Whoopie Golberg <quote> Hellllll no! </quote>

you have done
your best for me and I really do thank you, I am beginning to wish I had not
bought this pc and stuck with my old one, I am a silver surfer well in fact a
bald one and this is starting to get over my head I think.

It won't be over your head as there is a few options left to try.
First I would like to know the Make/Model of your video/graphics adapter/chip. I'll
provide a link for the latest updated drivers to download/install before continuing
with the monitor, it may not be the issue and there's a likelyhood it has to do with
the video/graphics adapter/chip. Also, do you have a neighbor/friend/relative that
would be willing to let you connect your monitor to their machine to test/see if it's
the monitor or something to-do with your machine?

Once you have the video drivers downloaded/extracted to a folder:
Boot to Safe Mode > Device Manager and remove any/all devices listed in both the
Display Adapters and Monitors. Don't keep any especially if more than one are
present since any one could be corrupt and you don't know which one. Once the
devices are removed close out of Device Manager and Reboot.
Windows will redetect/reinstall the devices drivers. If the issue isn't resolved
then we'll get at updating the drivers using the drivers you downloaded/extracted to
see if we can't put a halt to the issue.

Try the above first and if still no joy we'll have a go at updating the drivers.

One more quick question: To get at and change the Refresh Rate, you are clicking
on the Settings tab > Advanced button > Monitor tab, correct?

And one more: Have you tried the settings buttons on the monitor? One of the
buttons is an AutoAdjust.

Brian,

I am sure I must be trying your patience, It seems to me that I have no
drivers installed for this monitor as far as I can tell as it does not show
fujisu in the monitor display, my model is scaleoview c17 - 3 which is not
shown on the link you supplied, I found this model at fujitsu i downloaded
something but thats as far as I got, I have no idea where it went on my pc,
my information is the same in display monitor no fujisu.
I am just a novice that likes to try before I take it to the shop. I still
have the box the monitor came in but no installation disc, I am now thinking
this is my problem I have nothing installed for this monitor. Ive been at it
5 hours now about to give up I think.
many thanks
Gerald

Damn key trigger happy fingers hit send to quick.

I have to ask, aside from trying updated drivers are you selecting 60Hz with the
1280x1024 resolution? If yes:
Are you selecting those settings in Display Properties or the monitor controls?
Either way whichever one, try the other to see if it helps.

Are the graphics integrated onboard or do you have a PCI or AGP card installed?
If it's a card installed open the box up and make sure that it is seated
properly in
its slot.
Check the cable from the monitor to the machine for any problems and make sure
it's
firmly connected.
Also download/install updated graphics drivers per the manufacturers
instructions
from their support site.

Thank you very much, I have a 17" fujitsu flat screen monitor, my text is not
sharp as it used to be with my last pc, I have tried to change the screen
resolution to 1280 x 1024. when I click ok I get a black screen show with a
grey information box telling me frequency out of range 46Hz - 86Hz please
change to 1280 x 1024 60Hz. but its just not letting me have that setting for
some reason
