Ronald:
You ask about a utility, but I have to wonder... If your monitor
is fairly new, does it have memory for screen settings? Many
(perhaps most) monitors today allow you to adjust the screen
position, size, and geometry for each resolution and frequency
combination. This mean that you adjust the screen, using the
monitor, the first time you use a new setting, and save it. There
after, the screen will be correct for that resolution X frequency.
When ever I build a system (or change the video card or monitor),
one of the very first things I do is walk through the various
combination (i.e. each of the resolutions under Windows) and
adjust the screen. If I play a game that uses a new combination,
say 640x400@100Hz, I adjust that when I encounter it. My current
monitors have some (about 10) built in combinations, and an
additional 10 user definable combinations. That pretty much is
all I need.
Good Luck,
