I do know that selecting the correct monitor can have an impact on your
display. I changed a monitor on a computer from a Packard Bell 1511 to a
Dell Ultrascan ES. Windows did not automatically catch the change and the
monitor was left as the Packard Bell in System properties. I had set the
"screen area" to 800x600 and wanted to change it to 640x480. Everytime I
tried to change it I would get a blank screen and then the monitor would
finally come back on when I didn't select the yes to keep the new
resolution. I finally realized that the monitor was not the Packard Bell
and changed it to the Dell Ultrascan and I was able to change the Screen
Area.
