I don't know about the monster and the monitor.inf file, but I have a Viper
330 and KFC 17", I also have a Stingray 128 w/ 6megs.. Well the stingray
works great, but the Viper gives a very blurry screen after a few minutes...
no help from TS either.. So I started to mess with monitor settings and
found the Compaq monitor for 17" works perfect! been running for 4 days and
no blurry screen! go figure its worth a shot..
