screen shifted by Supersonicdarky on 12-31-2005 at 09:17 PM

when i play NFS Hot Pursuit 2, the whole screen is shifted about 400px to the left

i tried changing the resolution, but didn't help :(

when i quit, it goes back to normal

Do you have a button on your monitor that shifts everything into it's correct place?

I do and when I have that problem I just press it..?

If you don't know, check the manual for your monitor.

works, but it's annoying doing that every time :(

you could check the game settings and see if there is an option in there somewhere.
i dont know...never heard of the game :(

Yeah... I haven't played that one... But check and see if there's an option to center the screen. Cause I know some games (mostly ps2 games) have an option to do that... I'd imagine that some computer games would too.

Is it possible that NFS is running in a different resolution than you have your windows set to? If so, check your video cards drivers and alter the refresh rate frequency to the proper settings for that specific resolution that NFS is running in. Experiment with those...

Control Panel > Screen Properties > Settings > Advanced > your specifc video card tab...

eg: for nVidia cards there is a special tab there. Clicking on that brings up the nVidia control panel. From there I go to the tab "Refresh Rate Overrides" where I can set individual refresh rates for specific resolutions.


Also/Or

Also check the manual to see if you can fix the position to that location for that individual resolution.

Or check to see if you can make different custom modi for your monitor.
