Try booting into SafeMode & see it the display works OK with the 16-color Standard VGA driver.

If so, check in Device Manager - look for red Xs, yellow exclamation points, or devices that don't match what you have (especially under video[display] & monitor) . . .

You might have either a bad video driver, or the refresh rates aren't correct for your monitor (might need to find an .inf file from the website of the monitors manufacturer).

Best of luck - I'll check back sometime tomorrow

[oh, and check the monitors cable - is it loose near the back of the monitor - or where it connects to the video card?]
