I don't think it's your monitor. I used to have similar problem before. I am 
using matrox millenium with 2M WRAM and my monitor is a rebadged MAG17. I got 
rid of the problem by downloading the latest display driver for Win95 from MAG 
website ( www.mag.com). Just follow the menu which says download drivers. Just 
be patient, the site can get pretty busy sometimes.
