I have a 4000/040 and a 1960 monitor, when I use the Double NTSC hi-res no flicker mode 640X400, my picture shifts to the right. I can't center it with the controls on the monitor. Is there a fix? Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Download Moned.lha, its in library 3 (Screen Utilities), it lets you adjust the default settings in the monitor driver's icons so that you ccan compensate for such problems as you described. I have an A1200 with a 1960 monitor, and was able to center my workbench screen as well as get rid of the ugly black borders. =Rick=

Thanks, after I posted the question, I realized I had that program and tried it. As you stated, it fixed the problem. Why didn't Commodore do that in the first place. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

>>Why didn't Commodore do that in the first place.<< I suppose like most companies bringing out new products, there just wasn't enough time and it was low on a priority list or maybe nobody even noticed the problem <G>. I'm a Marketing Rep for a commercial furniture manufacturer, until this year we only had 1 enginneer on staff. Our Marketing Exec's would conceive and push new products thru production. The Exec's would have us go out and create a market AND orders on a new product and when push came to shove, production couldn't produce it without major problems and deficiencies in the product. I supprised I can still walk with as many times as I have been "shot in the foot" <G>. Management finally got smart and now we have a REAL enginering department (staff of 12) specializing in various aspects of our production. They now have a CAD system that can interface with new manufacturing equipment being brought on line AND they even do test manufacturing runs on new products BEFORE they let us go with a new product. Maybe my feet will heal now <G>. =Rick=
