I used to print stuff out, when I didn't realize I could read the screen.

>> Hi list,
>> My old LCD monitor doesn't seem to work with my desktop PC, and I'm in a

>> CRT screen but the print is too small and the image is mushy regardless

>> Fortunately, I can still use Firefox as a browser, but IE is my main

>> If any of you is currently using an LCD monitor on your PC, I would

>> Thanks for any help.
