Irratating Screen Res

Barewolf · 06-06-2009, 17:46

I dont know why but ive installed 2 games recently and when I start the game it appears to only display in the top left of my monitor, not full screen like its supposed to.

Ive googled my little fingers to bloody stumps to find a solution to no avail.

Burnout Paradise City was one of them but I managed to change the graphics option to Anti Aliasing x 2, aparantly one website did say that would work, and it did.

The other is Nostradamus, however this doesnt have any graphics options to allow me to alter anything like anti aliasing. It certainly isnt playable the way it is and the manual doesnt mention anything.

All i can think is that its something to do with the graphics cards settings, I "DO" have my TV rigged up as a 2nd monitor but I unplugged this and its still the same.

The resalution is set to 1680x1050 on a Radeon HD 4670, its set as 1. on the drop down bar which says (multiple monitors).

Anyone got any ideas?

What OS are you using ?

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode ?

Vista 32

The problem is now solved........

For future reference to people in similar difficulty is to right click the game icon and set it to run in full screen mode, why this didnt run in full screen to begin with is a little confusing, however i did find that Nvidea graphics, and dual monitors can cause a conflict issue.
