Screen Resolution

Sun Jun 25 23:45:57 UTC 2006

Actually your problem does not surprise me. Besides setting your monitor you 
also need to set your graphics card. I noticed it said TRIDENT for your 
graphics card. I remember having the exact same problem your having with a 
trident based graphics card and patched it to old older library under which 
it did run. So my first suggestion to to see if you can find the exact name 
of your graphics card and set that along with your monitor. Alternately you 
might want to consider upgrading your graphics card in the near future.

Hope this helps.
