Game Screen cuts off on top and bottom

[Doorty]

The Game screen appears to large for my monitor, and i have tried changing the resolution and updating my driver but nothing has worked, please help because i am unable to read most things on the screen and the bottom on the bottom of the screen. I have included my Dxdiag.

Have you run the setup or diagnostic program for your monitor? Some monitors have such programs to make sure that they are functioning correctly in all situations.

Ummm, I am running the Radeon 9800 Pro and it didnt have any special setups for it, I doubt your 9500 would be too much different...You certainly have ample resources and if its a Dell, I suspect your monitor is at least a 17 ""...

Its not in Windows mode? correct? In other words you cant see your windows toolbar at the bottom of your screen when the game runs?

My CoTN got in windows mode once, I have no idea how.. But I had to reboot and then it was fine....

I run the same video card as Karter. However, many monitors have calibration programs that need to be run before you go off an use them otherwise problems like the one above occur.

[Doorty]

how exactly do u calibrate your monitor?

[Keith]

Like I said, many, not all, monitors come with a program that has to be run to do that.

Many monitors have a button "auto" which resizes the screen

Right, my Samsung has a full set of adjustments I can make from front panel buttons.
