Display Issue

[Ratosai]

Now, this problem isn't necessarily with Oblivion, but it did happen after playing Oblivion. Earlier today,

I was playing Oblivion, trying to fix another problem (now fixed), and in trying to fix that problem, I turned down

the resolution (from my native 1680x1050 to 1600x1024). I don't know why I chose that resolution, but I did.

The normal message came up to restart Oblivion to make the changes, so I went to exit Oblivion.

 

When I came to my desktop, I was in 1680x1050, but the display was (and is) shifted about 2 inches to the right

and about half an inch up. However, this is only with my native resolution. All my other resolutions work fine and

display fine. If I have to, I guess I'll just put my computer in 1440x900, but I would like to have my native resolution

back.

 

Also, I tried manually moving the display through my monitors menu, but it doesn't go far enough. Also, I had

recently installed the latest nVidia drivers (190.38) for my 9800 GTX after a clean sweep. Is this new driver

a suspect? Or did changing the resolution in Oblivion do something?

 

Thanks for any help.

you have the drivers for the monitor itself? My monitor displays it's native resolution all funky if I don't have the driver installed lol

look at nVidia control panel and check under the "Display" and "Adjust desktop size and position" one of those buttons for scaling the better works for you.

Thanks for the responses. I originally submitted this a week ago, but then the forums went down.

In that time I fixed the problem (crazy voodoo magicka) and everything appears to be okay.

Thanks again for the responses.
