problems with monitor

Hello -

I am experiencing the following problem.

My monitor essentially cannot be customized. Currently it is at 1600x1200
and refreshing at 60Hz.Windows seems to think it can do up to 1800x1440 and
85Hz. When I change the refresh rate to 85Hz, Windows seems to accept the
change but a) there is no visible change, and b) the monitor wizard still
says 60hz. As for the resolution, when I change it to 1800x1440, it
basically just stays the same "size" but the edges of the desktop are off
the screen. When I drag my mouse to any edge of the screen, the desktop
slides over to the side to reveal what I cannot see. The odd thing is that
when I hooked it up to my machine at work running XP Pro SP1, everything
worked fine.

Any suggestions? I've tried locating a driver, but everything I find either
does not work, or doesn't even install.

My graphics card is an ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 series card, while the one I
have at work is the ATI Radeon 9600 (I think) series.



Thanks -

JD
