how can you fix the horizontal & vertical on you monitor display?

[featherkids]

I have really messed up my monitor's horizontal & vertical and all the rest of it. It is so cockeyed and not very square. It does not fit my 17" monitor very evenly...if this makes any sense.

I have been working on it all evening, and I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone know how I can get all the proportions straightened out? Is there a website or somewhere where it tells what the proportions should be for a 17" monitor...like what the numbers should be? Thanks

Hi Feather kids does you monitor have the menu keys for altering the position of the screen ie. left/right,up/down,skew,pincoushion etc if so what make,model and resolution are you using?
You can use the Nokia monitor test (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Other-VIDEO-Tools/Nokia-Monitor-Test.shtml) program to give you a test card stlye image to adjust to and a few screens which run through setting up colours and brightness if it helps.
Edit: further to my last Samsung provide a tool called Magic Tune (http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitors/magictune/magictune_01s.htm) to configure some of their monitors maybe you manufacturer has a similar tool.

Yes, I have all the buttons for altering the position and that is what I have been trying to work with on my own, but the edges are all wavy. I cannot get it to look right.

This is on my other computer. The monitor is a 17" Gateway VX700. There is another number GWY044E if that helps any. I will check out those sites although I already have a site to calibrate the color, brightness and contrast. I need help with the positioning and straightening. Thanks

I don't know if a driver .inf file will help with your problem, but the link to it is below:

Usually for your problem you need to adjust the black out with the monitors controls on the monitor itself.
