First, find Win3.1 drivers that are compatible with your OAK video card.
There may be some avaiable via anonymous ftp at ftp.cica.indiana.edu. New
drivers should help with your "garbage" problem.
As far as the screen being "off center", this may be a problem with your
monitor. Some monitors do not sync well at high resolutions and need the
help of a utility generally provided by the maker of your video card.
