This monitor I have has no adjustments for trapezoid or pincushion. Is there
any software that'll do this for you?

no you need a new monitor. no software is going to work the monitor needs
the hard ware to make it work.

Actually, I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 757NF, and with it you get
software to alaigne it via USB. You can adjust everthing with it. It's
called Mousescreen.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

there will be adjustments but if they're not on the front of the monitor
then there will be potentiometers (think thats what theyre called) inside
the monitor on the circuit board
that can be adjusted - a TV repairman could do it for you. i've done it
myself but fiddling with the inside of a monitor when its on IS dangerous.

It's potentially lethal when it's off too because of the capacitors. You're
giving dangerous advice without knowing what you're talking about.

Most monitors do not have particularly large filter capacitors--in other
words they discharge fairly rapidly when the power is turned off. The real
danger inside a monitor is the second anode, which forms a capacitor using
the entire display area as one of the plates--that holds a very
considerable charge for a fairly long time.
