Hi.
	This is a very common problem, although it is still usable
normally.   I got a program with my Trident card that allows the
position (and size) of each individual screen mode to be set and stored
in a device driver so that the settings are loaded when the computer
boots.  I don't know if something like this exists for that card though.
