Default Help me calibrate a LCD monitor....(It's all stretched and stuff)

Basically I just want a circle to look like a circle. Too much to ask?

None of the present resolutions in the display settings are for a wide screen monitor...Does that mean there's nothing I can do?

Running windows XP.

Thanks

So in your Display ---> Advanced tab does it have an option for 1600x900, 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 resolutions?

Also, do you have the latest display drivers from your video card/motherboard manufacturer?

I think you just answered your own question there.

Have you updated the drivers for your video card?
Have you installed the drivers fo rthe monitor?

Thats a pretty damn low resolution for a 24 inch. Usually those things go up to 1920x1200
