Q: I recently switched out a dead monitor and replaced it with a 17″ KDS Visual Sensations monitor manufactured in 1999 that was given to me. I have a Dell Demensions 2400 Series purchased in 2003 with Windows XP. The problem arises when I boot up my system. The cursor shows up in the lower right hand corner slightly larger than it should be. The Windows login screen then comes up as if someone zoomed in on the upper left hand corner of the screen. In order to get to a normal size screen, I have to turn off the system holding the startup key on the CPU. Sometimes after turning off the system it will boot up with the normal size login screen and sometimes it takes several reboots. What can be done to fix this image problem?

Read Question HereQ: I am having color issues with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0, my printer, and my digital camera. The picture on my computer screen is completely different than the one that comes out of the printer and the camera. How can I fix this?
A: Since the Camera and the printer show the correct colors then I would suggest we concentrate on the monitor. The best option would be to get a hardware based calibration system like the ColorVision Spyder2 Express or the Pantone huey. These devices are easy to use and will automatically calibrate your system so that the colors are correct. The Pantone huey stays connected to your system so that it can constantly update your settings based on the change in light in the room.
