is this a monitor problem?

I have installed the newiest drivers for geforce 2 card so thats not the problem. I will try to describe this problem as best as I can. I have windows xp installed. It acks like everything animates for example Windows boots up to the destop and I click somthing doesnt matter what it is and the screen does a waving motion. I open up internet explorer and it gets real skinny with about 3 inches on both sides being black if I use the monitor to resize it its too big for the desktop. If i click anything the video animates like a waving motion is best i can describe like the monitor is not refreshing fast enough. It is a old monitor Micron is the name. I have tryed everything that I know to do changing the drivers to setting new desktop sizes. Its like the monitor is not remmbering the size. I have it diagnosed to monitor or virus if anyone could help I would appreciate it.
