Hi Mark,

I had the same problem before with my inspiron 700m. Is the laptop and the
monitor running the same resolution? I fixed mine with 855crt, but I had to
run the same resolution between laptop and external monitor. I dont know if
it will work with your laptop though since I dont know what videocard the
Latitude 505 is running.

Charles
