I have noticed this as well. I own a CTX CMS-1561LR which is not listed as supported in Windows '95. In order to obtain the scan frequencies I needed, I simply chose a CTX 21" monitor from the list, knowing very well it would offer a variety of frequencies. The only caveat in performing this operation is that you may not be able to access resolutions above 1024x768 without "tweaking" your monitor. /\/\ichael |<elsey
