I moved my pc to my cabinet and I believe I have all of the drivers installed correctly. The vid card is showing correctly in device manager and I have the control panel installed with the galaga icon in the system tray. After this was installed, everything seems to be ok. I can see the post and it boots up normally, however the screen seems to be "pulling" to the right a bit.
Here is an example (http://www.horrorcoregames.com/pics/IMG_1860.JPG)
When the screen initially loads, it looks ok but then it pulls out to the right. You can see it adjust there. What is this an issue with? Do I need to adjust the monitor itself or did I mess up the installation somewhere?
The resolution is currently set to 640x480 in both windows and mamewah. This brings me to my second issue.
I have seen lots of posts and even the ultimarc site says to set the resolution to 640x288.
If I do that I get something that looks like this. (http://www.horrorcoregames.com/pics/IMG_1861.JPG) And here is another example. (http://www.horrorcoregames.com/pics/IMG_1862.JPG) It took me forever to get windows to sit still again. Same thing with mamewah. Now both of them are at 640x480. However, when I run mame I still have those same issues. I ran the avres tool to set the resolutions but it still looks like that. How can I fix this?
*edit - hmm, maybe this should be in software?

The first one looks like your brightness or contrast is up too high and the colours are bleeding.
The second one looks like the v-hold just needs adjusting. But the picture will most likely roll once you switch to other resolutions, so you may have to find a middle-ground for your settings.

you are a genius. changed those settings on the panel i had for my monitor and it looks great now. 640x288 works as well. thanks very much.
