I am running a new PC with Win XP and a Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. The
card performs fine as you would expect, but when I start MS flight Sim 2004,
the CRT monitor has to be manually adjusted to the correct width and height
settings - when Flight Sim first clicks in, it is occupying perhaps half of
the height and more that the width of the screen. In other words the image
is short and too wide.

Has anyone any ideas as to how to cure this problem. ~It's a nuisance having
to adjust the monitor every time I start Flight Sim and then adjust back
again when I come out of the program.

All suggestions gratefully appreciated

Hmm, your monitor should have more than one setting it automatically
saves. But your problem is to do with the refresh rate. Get Multires
(or you can use Radeon Omega drivers which have it built in) and after
installing go to the "about" section and select 'lock refresh rates'.
Set your monitor to the res and colour depth you use for FS2004 and
set the refresh rate, I recommend you use 85hz, use 85hz for all
resolutions and colour depth. That should solve your issue. Get
multires here.

p.s. XP is using 60hz for default refresh rate in your game but you
have the desktop set to something else and that is why the geometry is
changing on you.
