>I installed WinQuake and Display Doctor. BUT, now I can't change from
320x200 to my desired resolution of 320x240. When I try to do this, the
screen goes black, then my monitor switches off. This has always happened,
but before I installed Display Doctor, it only happened with the higher
resolutions. HEEEEELLLLLPPPP!


the refresh rate for 320x240 is set too high and the monitor is shutting
down to protect itself - there should be a control in display doctor to
alter it.
