Hi. Something strange just happened.

My screen suddenly went like this:

VeryNarrowHere V  e  r  y  W  i  d  e  ( B  I  G )  H  e  r  e AgainNarrow
VeryNarrowHere V  e  r  y  W  i  d  e  ( B  I  G )  H  e  r  e AgainNarrow
VeryNarrowHere V  e  r  y  W  i  d  e  ( B  I  G )  H  e  r  e AgainNarrow

I mean, everything is out of proportion.

The problem is just in 640x480 (either in DOS, Windows including the BIOS
setup screen). Any other resolution works well (in Windows).

I have tried to fix it with the manual controls (I've tried all of them).
And by changing the refresh rate. None of these works.

I don't have another video card now, so I cannot test that.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Cesar Mendoza
