If you installed the latest ATI drivers and still have the problem,
either your video card or monitor is defective. There is no
analog/digital setting itself in Windows XP that can be adjusted.
You should also visit the support web site of the manufacturer
of your monitor and search for any monitor drivers.

Hi C ... I have the latest driver and for the monitor i
was told i don't need a driver for it , but i will
continue to search ... thanks any ways

You *DO* need the driver for the monitor. It will allow adjustments and
functions of the monitor that the generic windows monitor driver do not
allow. I strongly urge you to download and install the latest monitor
drivers.
