bleedblue23 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 My settings are: Intel Pentium 4, 3600 MHz Memory 1024MB RAM Drive C Video NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 I don't know what it is but my screen seems to be zoomed in too much or the picture is compressed. My display is 1680x1050. Any suggestions or tips are much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedblue23 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 UPDATE: Whenever I'm on the main MY MVP page and click AUTO DETECT settings, MVP auto detects my screen to the lowest resolution. I have updated my driver as well. Not sure what to do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryW Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 If I'm not mistaken, that is a widescreen resolution....That is probably the conflicting factor. Does your laptop's screen have a 15.4 inch diagonal length? If so, then that is evidently the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerryW Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well I've never heard of a PC having "Geforce Go" graphics... You are evidently running that game at a 16:9 (WS) ratio. Anyway, I would think that there is an option within the game's settings to turn on widescreen mode. Have you had this issue with OTHER games as well? If so, what did you do to fix it? Or possibly consult your nVidia media center software to modify the resolution or adjust the 'widescreen' settings, if present, to accompany this game.

KerryW Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 1600 x 1000 is a pretty large resolution though. How exactly are you able to see any type of print with a 17-inch monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedblue23 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Try a game resolution of 1280X1024 And try to set your Desktop res at 1280X1024 also. My temporary solution that works but is a pain is half the settings of the driver use black bars on the sides while playing the game. The quality is very good but the black bars are a pain. Thanks for your tip I'll try that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryW Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Well that is your only choice unless the game gives you an option to turn widescreen mode on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am unable to find any option like that so its very limitied in my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
