AAARRRRGH.

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!

Cheers,


Andrew

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.
