Monitor Clicks??

[THunDA]

Hello...
Ive had a Gainward GeForce 4600ti for bout 2 weeks or so and finally Ive got it working good except for when I start games or when im in a game menu and start the from there...my monitor clicks like 3 to 5 times sometimes but not all the time (normally I used to get only one click ) ...seems to do this more with newer det's right now im using the 28.32's and I seem to like the image quality best from them .Does anyone know what my monitor is doing when it is clicking ? And how can I stop it for hanging up and clicking alot ?
thx

The First place I would look is the Monitor settings in the Video card options
is the correct monitor listed?
If possible down load the monitor INF file from the manufacturer
This will ensure your card is Not using the wrong Modes for your monitor .

The single Click is the Monitor changing Modes
The Multiple clicks could be the monitor is having a problem with the modes the Video card is attempting to set and dropping back to the previous mode.

When it does it should be communicating with the video card and resetting .
The card should attempt to set/use a new mode

I should also Note.
You need to keep your settings that you control in programs and the like
To within the Monitors limits

Sounds to me like your monitor is choking on the settings you have set up for the game. Does it do it for all games or one in particular? Is the refresh rate set to high? You can always try the new driver even though windows tells you its older. If it doesnt fix the problem you can always change them back.

'Bout the only thing left to do is back up and
try some older Detenator Drivers. Curious as to
which driver's came with the G4?

Need something that is compatable w/XP Pro.
