Compaq 7500 color monitor

Hi,
When I got this monitor (second hand) a few days a go it worked fine.
But now no matter what settings I try on both the monitor and in windows it
will not fit all the way to the left and right sides. plus if I try to change
it from 800x600 to 1024x768 it go's even more squashed and now very blurred.
I don't think it's the monitor itself as when the computer is first booting
up (in dos) it looks OK but when it gets to the welcome screen it changes
size.
Does any one have a idea's please?

thanks

The high voltage capacitors, used for the horizontal sweep, are failing.
