Mike, that is what I was needing, all is back to normal with that box
ticked.
Thanks a lot.

See if at Display Properties | Settings | Advanced | Monitor you have a
check box "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display". If so ensure
that it is checked and then click Apply. If you don't find this setting
on the Monitor tab see if there is something similar on the Adapter tab.
Whether this setting is available is I think a function of the video or
monitor drivers rather than the operating system.

Mike, would there be any benefit in resetting (if I can) the video
card to a maximum of 1280 x 1024?
I find that there is no problem except when I change the settings in
order to watch a VHS film or a DVD when I go to a much lower figure
to enhance the picture; then when I try to reset I forget what
setting to use. If the video card was limited to 1280 x 1024 then I
could just go to max.
Thank you.

Stewart,

I'm glad that you found that check box and that order has now returned to
your system! Thanks for the feedback.
