>>I'm not sure. I have a new monitor, but I can not change my display settings and have to run under 800*600. Our Network guy explained, that I have an old video card and the only way to use my monitor to its potential is to buy a new video card (which I'm not sure will happen soon). One of my colleagues is not having this display problem. Two others have it if they use 800*600 resolution. What exactly should I (or our network administrator) do to check, if drivers are the latest?

Here is my parameters:
Dell E193P on Trident Video Accelerator 96XX/938X

I have only two choices: 800*600 and medium (16 bit) or 1024*768 with 8 (small). I tried the second option, but it was really hard to work, so I restored back to 800*600.

I put thisform.Draw in one of the containers and it solved the problem for me. My colleague is trying it now and so far it doesn't work for him. But we also changed few other properties while testing.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
