Good idea, but I already tried that (I had seen people have success with that as well...). What I didn't say in my original comments was that its far closer than it was before. When I'm at a dos prompt, the picture is stable, and I can tell where the cursor is (because it's always a single dash on a horizontal line). Everything else horizontally is stable, just not 'lined up' right, apparently.
Any suggestions?
: Maybe try using R,G,B and ground and twisting the H-sync and V-sync together and connecting it that way. I have heard of that before from others. Don't know if that works but maybe.

: : I've just been trying to get my cabinet monitor to work, and I'm having some issues. Its a Toei AD-20 (I haven't seen anyone else with one of these yet- lucky me...). The input wires/connector on the monitor was unlabeled, so I assumed the 5 lines to be RGB Vert and Horiz. No go. serious horizontal imbalance (actually vertical, but I think the monitor used to be vert and they never changed the labels on the pots). Since I wasn't sure which was vert and which was horizontal at the monitor end, I tried each combination, as well as assuming that they were actually vert/horiz sync combo and ground. Nothing. Not knowing if I had a monitor or cabling issue, I 'mcgyvered' my cable to an old RGB monitor I had kicking around, and had the same problem. At this point I began to suspect an incompatable refresh rate or resolution coming from the video card (I was using Arcadeos with arcade display (NTSC) mode turned on), so I loaded up that little TSR VGATV driver. Worked fine on the old RGB monitor, but not on the Arcade monitor.

: : I appreciate any suggestions that can be offered. I'm stumped.
