Well this problem has been happening for ages...When I start my PC i have to resize the display to fit the screen?...

I resize it once then later i have to resize it again (after about 10 mins)...Is this a common problem/if it isnt how can i fix it....

Thanks.

it's it fairly common in crt monitors i think but it usually isn't more than a few cm, it's just the tube warming up or it may be that there is a potential divider slightly off somewhere causing it to slowly slip.
only fix i can think of is get a tft, sorry i can't be more helpful.

I had a problem like that before on my old pc, and it turned out that it was my ATI all-in-wonder 128 video card. Once your video card starts to get old it tends to do funky things. What kind of video card do you have? When was the last time you updated your drivers? Have you noticed any other strange behaviour? Also, you should hook your monitor up to a friend's computer and see if perhaps it's the monitor itself going shotty. There's my two cents
