I have the same problem here, and have had for several months--both
timelist and monosync give large blank areas on the top and on the left
side of the screen.  Multisync works fine, _but_ the monitors in the list 
have extremely high max refresh rates (90-100 Hz) and my picture is
distorted or way off center in this case (I manually change the monitor
spec file to fix this, you can too).

Anyway, although monosync and timelist both center the picture perfectly
on my screen, there is this blank-area problem which makes them unusable. 
(And the stray CRT beam problem with multisync, but I can live with that
for now.)  Unfortunately I haven't had time yet to try and find the problem.
