Driver needed for iiayma Vision MasterPro 451 A902MT

I have just installed a new graphics card and I find that I need a driver
for my monitor. The graphics card is a Gainward GeForce FX5700. The
display now has two vertical black bars at either side and the image is
bowed at the left and right edges. I have checked the iiyama website and
searched with Google but haven't found one. I can't use the monitor
controls to adjust the image as my machine is a multi boot used for testing
software. Although my three Windows XP installs have recognised the monitor
although only two display correctly. My 98, Me and 2000 installations all
have haven't recognised the monitor and all have this display problem. In
all cases the initial splash screens display correctly. Microsoft have not
included a driver for this monitor on these installation CDs. Does anyone
know where I can find a driver or any tool that can be used to adjust the
image. I have tried Gainwards EXPERTool and PowerStrip but neither have the
ability to correct the problem.
Thanks.

This sounds like a refresh rate issue. Have you tried setting the refresh
rate from the default 60Hz to something higher? I use 85Hz on my monitor, at
60Hz the image is narrower. You can change the refresh rate from Display
Properties.

Thanks for the URL. Have installed the driver which is confirmed by Device
Manager but unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem. I will be grateful
for all suggestions!
Thanks.

What I think I need is a utility that will stretch the desktop to fill the
screen and also to flatten the bowed edges.

Adjusting the edges is something I doubt any utility will do. That's
something that needs to be adjusted on the monitor. It's possible that the
brightness in the centre of the screen is causing the bowing, and that
stretching it will straighten it out. If you try changing the desktop
refresh rate you might find one that causes the monitor to look correct.

Failing that, how old is your monitor? Most monitors made in the past few
years retain geometry settings on a per resolution+refresh rate basis - my
cheapie 2 year old Fujitsu one does this. You might find that adjusting the
monitor for the settings you have in Windows do not affect the geometry when
you boot back into the other OS's. If you use say 1024x768@100Hz on one OS,
and you're running at 1280x960@60Hz in another, then adjusting one should
not affect the other. Try it and see.

You are correct about the refresh rate and it terns out that this was the
problem. For some reason Windows seems to have defaulted to 75 Hz. Setting
it to 60 Hz in Win 98 & Me or either 60 Hz or 85 Hz in Win 2000 & XP solves
the problem. The monitor is about 3 ½ years old. I use 1,024 X 768 for all
my OS's, although testing as other resolution does as you say alter the
geometry.
Thanks for your help!

Glad I could help
