left edge cut off games full screen

I am running vista with a widescreen LCD TV monitor and when I try to read some of my old fullscreen games he cut left and the top of the screen.  I have a GForce 8600GT with updated drivers and spin homebasic with the Service Pack.  Change the resolution of the computer and refocusing of the screen do not help.

Hello StellaWebb,

Thank you for posting.  Since you're using a widescreen LCD TV, you could have buttons zoom or format on you TV remote.  We can try to see if changing it one of these option/settings of the TV will correct itself the image.

Please let me know if this helps you

  • The mouse pointer will not appear during the games full screen

    Hi, I'm runnding windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and for some reason my pionter mouse will not be displayed in full screen games. I thought it was the gambling problem, but my brother happened to want to play a game as to my account on the computer rather than its, and the mouse poitner don't appear.

  • Games full screen is being kept to a minimum when I open them.

    When I try to open a game in full screen, it becomes almost immediately downplayed. This does not happen at the games, I play in windowed mode, like WoW, but games such as Warcraft 3, Age of Empires and the Fable are all affected. I tried to close all other programs running and windows I had running and even turned off my internet connection for a while. I can't get into the game menu to access video options because it minimizes it, after that I restored windows. When the windows are reduced, there is nothing else open on my desk; no error message, no pop-up ads.

  • The computer crashes whenever I put on ' games full screen.

    I know it seems immature, but I like to play games on my Windows Vista computer. I've had this computer for about 3 years and rarely have problems with it, at first, I thought it was the screen but when I want to play a game with full screen such as the sims 3 (^. ^) it just hangs... It's really annoying and I need help! :'(Merci-Rachael)

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

    2 is the issue limited to the particular game or all games?

    Method 1

    I suggest that reduce you the hardware acceleration on your computer and check if it helps.

    For Windows vista and Windows 7

    (a) open display settings by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel.

    (b) click on appearance and personalization, click personalization, and then click display settings.

    (c) click on Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click change settings.

    Note:  Some video card drivers do not allow to change settings.

    (d) move the hardware acceleration slider to zero to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you update the drivers of graphics card on the computer by visiting the graphics card manufacturer to download and install the latest update of the driver, check if that helps.

  • game full screen minimized every time someone instant me message via msn messenger and other pop-up alerts

    Currently I play warcraft 3 frozenthrone. It happens that someone instant me message. not necessarily the person who played with me. I'm not sure about the version, but should be the same that I do not have day msn live messenger. When a message snapshot person me while I play full screen, my game will get minimize and go to desktop screen [the screen where you will see the icons and wallpapers on the desktop].

  • pointer does not move in the games full screen

    My pointer do not move in the games when they are full screen on windows 7. In windowed mode, it works but it do not fit with all the games because I can't scroll.

    I've updated all my drivers...

    It's a well known problem with Windows Vista, but it had an impact on many users... seemed random.  Microsoft produced a patch for Vista.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/932653/en-us

    Windows 7 can get a similar fix in time.  In the meantime, it is possible to download the Vista fix & install it via a right click on the Setup file, clicking on properties, then the Compatibility tab and it runs as an application in Vista.

  • Windows 7: cannot read games full screen

    Now, I know that it is a very common problem, but so far, I found nothing like that that I have a problem with. First of all:

    • Acer Aspire Z5600
    • Windows 7 home x 64
    • Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 2.70 GHz
    • 3.00 GB Ram
    • 500 GB internal Hardrive, 1 TB external hard drive
    • Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
    • Native resolution 1920 x 1080

    Good at little about 3 months ago I had no problem with mode full screen and each game worked perfectly. Now, there are no games that I have who will play full screen without the screen goes funky on me. By funky I mean it becomes black, white, gray, (segments of quarter blue/red/green/yellow) then black again and go through this program permanently. I uninstalled the chipset and reinstalled with new drivers. I changed and tried all resolutions in all games with always the same effect, and this also happens when I try to change the native resolution. Nothing works but 1920 x 1080.

    If anyone can help me would be great. My chance is just something simple, but I've exhausted my brain on this issue for some time and I would like to help.

    (It is written for someone who does not know too well with Windows 7. Windows Vista must be the same fix. If there are any Windows XP delivers like this, post and I'll do what I can)

    OK I'm back after a busy holiday season and I solved the problem (of course, it was so easy). I did enter my menu START, click DEVICES AND PRINTERS. According to this device, your video card is under (mine is in my computer, all in a single image) you want to double-click on that one. Go to the HARDWARE tab and scroll down until you see your video card, you have installed (you can see a lot of options related to the card as well. It is fine). You're going to go into the PROPERTIES of all the topics containing your card and ROLL BACK THE DRIVER on the DRIVERS tab. This will remove updates that Microsoft has put on your card finally allowing you to play fullscreen (resize your resolution).

    I checked all Microsoft sites, Articles, affiliates, or even any help sites and the sad thing was, there was no help on this. However, I find a certain blip little info that triggered my mind to this fix. Microsoft had indicated there was a lot of problems with the updates that came out recently. That's all they said. Nothing to try and help and any info on how they will solve this problem with a new updated. As far as I know, there will be no update for this problem for ACER Z5600 all in One Touch screen PC Media.

    If restore all your drivers causing problems for any other software you have (no problem for me), then I suggest to update all your drivers again and do trial and error with restore and update until you have all the programs happy. If all cannot coincide, then I propose to replace one of you're games/programs (any software is to give the question) to a more reputable.

    Well, I really hope that this hotfix helps everyone with this problem. My life just that became much easier and not more mind frying time, lol. If this does work for you, then please click on "Mark as answer" if others can also enjoy their time again. : D

    not much to add.

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.

    You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press on (fn +) F11.

  • How to turn off alarm full screen completely, not only the timeout?

    I changed 'full-screen - api .warning p:System.NET.HttpWebRequest.Timeout' '0' in ' subject: config. He disabled the message but I have another monitor above my main monitor and when I move my mouse to the video to full screen to the other monitor alarm full screen appears again. It's really disruptive because it stays there forever unless I put my mouse over the video. Could you add a setting to completely disable this alert?

    @Happy112 so the Addon does not work. It does exactly what I've done for Firefox settings.

    @jscher2000 I tried to do everthing you did, but rather than see this short blip that you were talking about, the full alert screen comes up. In addition, I tried to use the code you gave me with the Stylish extension (I had already installed) but it didn't work either (I probably made mistakes even though, as I don't really know how to use it: D)

    BUT I found a solution to my problem:

    I just had to define "full-screen - api .warning .delay" to any integer negative as - 1 instead of 0. That did the trick.

    in any case, thanks to all who tried to help me!
