using old packard bell monitor, mine has standard power lead connector.
Humm these both have a standard power supply. but the 15 pin d plug has 3 pins missing apart from that its a stardard monitor connector. both monitor leads are the same so it not that they have been broken off. and useing a packard bell system they work ok but if you connect them to a stardard tower system the icons on the desktop show up like ghosting on a tv one icon looks like 3 icons
can you change leads on monitors or are they fix leads
See if his graphics card has one of those new DVI connctors, its a white oblong shaped connector.
If so it may be worth trying it in that, I caoun possibley get a adaptor next week

I've never had any problems with them nor needed drivers that weren't included in Windows to get one working properly.
Packard Bell don't do anything special with their monitors so they only work with Packard Bell machines. Mine works with all machines.

he has 2 of these monitors both packard bell both differant model's
he tried them on both his pc's then brought them up for me to try on mine'
all with the same result there is 3 images of each of what ever is displayed ie. if you open a window you get 3 images of the window displayed on the screen. i have installed the correct drivers and tried that it made no differance both monitors do exactly the same thing 3 images displayed very odd lol

they are prob vga monitors not svga, i assumue he and u are running at resoultions higher that 1024 x 784,
the way to tell is if u boot your machine in safe mode it defaults to 640 x 480, if that is the case then they are old moniters good 4 anybody that needs a monitor for a server but thats about all

hi damage found this on http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/pb/faq/900hard.htm
Display Problems Running Games
This affects games such as Dungeon Keeper, and Speedster, on some Packard Bell machines with some PB 1015 / 14xx monitors. The fault lies with the ability of some tubes to switch refresh rates fast enough between different graphics modes.
The intro will play fine, but the game itself looks like someone switched display area to 1024x768 - you get three blurry screens and a lot of horizontal lines.
To solve this,
* Right-Click My Computer, Click Properties, then Performance, and Graphics
* Move the hardware acceleration to none
* Click OK/Close until prompted to reboot and do so.
looks like this monitor has been about for a while cos another site i looked it had win95 and win98 drivers.
couldnt find anything about the spec but it does sound like a backup monitor only
