This sounds like the frequency is out of range.
Usualy the horizontal refresh is from 60-85hz
but if the viertical rate is at a strange setting this issue happens.
and nothing you do to the monitor can fix it.

It's been a while sense I messed with 98. but if the driver configs are
simialr to xp you can set the alowed refrash ranges at each resolution
in the monitors driver ini file.

I use this to set fix dox box from displaying the black bars at the top
and bottom.

Check the device manager for the deails of your monitr and if you can
find the ini file in question you can usualy modify the refresh rates
and reboot.

Sorry I cant be more detailed.
