The Radeon video card has a wide range of screen
resolutions, most likely you have set the display to be
bigger than the physical screen size. Right click on the
desktop in a blank area, select properties on the pop-up
window. Then click the settings tab. You'll find the means
to reset the display, try 800x600 to start and then make
adjustments as required.

Since the Dell 2400 does not have an AGP slot, I presume you
added a PCI version if the Radeon card. Did you check for
issues with the on-board graphics and did you install the
proper ATI Radeon drivers?

to do with this.

| Help!
| Thanks.
