Horizontal size on old 14" monitor

[Peabody]

I have an old 14" VGA monitor that I would like to use as a backup.
The model is CM1448M. Anyway, it's just your standard 1024x768
monitor, long before the days of service menus.

There's a vertical size adjustment, but no horizontal size or width
adjustment, and the picture is scrunched up horizontally. There is
a horizontal phase adjustment that moves the picture from right to
left, and a horizontal hold adjustment, but nothing to expand it.

I've also looked inside, and find no pot with the magic words next
to it. Can anyone suggest how I might solve this problem? If I'm
SOL on any monitor adjustment, is there any display setting that
might help? It's an Intel 810 integrated video mobo.

Thanks for any help.

You might try different resolutions and lower frequencies.. Say 800x600
60hz.. Sometimes the older monitors only dispaly correctly at certain
frequency / resolution combinations... Maybe that will work for you..

Are you sure it can do 1024x768? Most old 14" monitors can't do this,
or if they can 60Hz is the limit. 800x600, or 1024x768 interlaced
might work.
