Default Geforce4 is driving me crazy

I doubt anyone would know but maybe osme Nvidia fan knows how to solve this.

Ehm so here is the problem... Someone bought a LCD 22" widescreen monitor and this nvidia card (geforce 4 MMX440) doesn't support the propper screen resolutions. the needed resolution would be something equivalent to 1024x786.

Now at first the whole thing was freezing (this is how it all started). Then i decided to upgrade the cards drivers to latest ones. This solved the freezing, but the darn thing is flickering. it switches off the monitor and turns it back on after a sec or two (just enough to make you go crazy). Somehow i found the drivers for this particular ASUS monitor and i installed those. But the screen still does that.


ok so my question is is this actually a graphics card issue or something wrong with the monitor? What is the way to solve this?

I believe i saw something similar long time ago on ATI graphics card, but then i realised that it was treating monitor as a TV screen. once i set it propperly it stopped. however i am not the best in dealing with nvidia cards. still i found these settings in their control panel, but they all seem to be set propperly to VGA and monitor...

also the computer also has a TV card installed. could that be the issue? Strange enough when you play that TV everyhting seems to be working fine...
