Title: Small display problem.
Post by: Gnomestone on August 05, 2007, 04:16:53 PM

Not sure if this should go here.

I recently had my hardrive wiped for a unrelated reason and am happy with my decision. Although there is one problem.

I keep fooling around with my screen settings, yet no matter what the dimensions are set to, everything is bigger than it is supposed to be, so if I move it one notch up, it's way to stretched.

It looks best at 1152x864.

Yet I can tell it's way to big. Is there any way to manually do it, because every other default size is either too big or too stretched.

I'm pretty sure I've always had it at 1152x864 or the next one up, yet 1152x864 is too big and the next one up is too stretched.

Thanks.

Wow, that worked. I'm an idiot. I figured since the other ones above the original size looked stretched the last one would to.

Sorry for me being an idiot. Thank you so much!
