Strangest damn thing. All my 'puter stuff is on a plug that is controlled by a wall switch. If the weather goes south on me I just flick the switch (I know that prolly won't help). Well, the other day the weather went all bumpy on my ass, so I flicked the switch. After a couple hours I flicked it back on, booted up and, Viola!, my monitor is running at it's recommended resolution. Everything is beautiful. In it's own way.

You are no longer pumpkin-heads!

Thanks for the input HappyMonkey. (Happy belated B-Day, also!)
