"Monitor problem
My Windows 98 is running satisfactorily except that the screen has shrunk slightly, with the two vertical sides slightly concave towards the centre. I restored to before the fault appeared but it made no difference. Bryden Keenan
JS: Check the controls on the monitor: there should be a button or wheel setting for pincushion or "trapezoid correction". That should correct the problem. However, the monitor may be aging.
According to Samuel M Goldwasser's invaluable monitor repair FAQ (http:// tinyurl.com/ae63z), reduced width could be caused by a failing capacitor."
