     I am having some serious display problems with my NEC 2A.  When I run anyt
hing in 800x600 resolution, I get lines or should I say distoring bands on the
screen.  The lines run vertically, eminating from the center of the screen to c
urved bands at the sides.  In 640x480, I get perfically vertical lines across t
he screen.

I have tried various solutions to this problem.  The lines don't show up on a N
EC 3D, PS/2 640x480, or a VGA 640x480 Goldstar.  Other vidio cards don't give t
he same lines on my monitor.  I am running an OEM VGA card with a Paradise chip
 set.  I have not isolated the problem to the card or the monitor, but with the
 two together...

These lines are destroying the potentially impressive displays of Windows 3.0 p
ackages.  If anyone has a tip, could you please send me a note?  I talked with
NEC.  They were absolutly, positively no help.

Thank you in advance,
