Wow, don't have any idea how this happened but the edges of the games are so far off the screen that I can barely tell somethings there. Thought it was fixed once but not! Actually, I do have any idea what might happened. I was moving the mouse around the screen and accidentally held down the button for a moment. The screen kinda shifted and then thats it. Didn't notice anything till next day. But don't know if thats it or not. Anybody have any thoughts on this? The resolution is set at 1024 x 768 on the computer. But the game options won't let me change anything. Goes right back to what it is set on. Can anybody use the resolution option on their game? That also might be the problem. But it has been 4 months now and nothing I try works. Wasn't like this before. Help!  |

Some LCD and most CRT monitors have options in their menu to move the picture around (LCDs usually have auto correct). The best option would be to find these options and adjust them. Laptops, however, I have no clue on.  |

The game revertz the screen resolution back to the default 600X480 pixelz from the Optionz menu. Set all of the optionz you want, then apply the desired screen resolution patch ... then go nowhere near the optionz menu after that. |

Uh, what patch are you talking about, GooRoo? Is it here someplace?  Oh, I think I know where it is. Need to look at top of home page. I've set the auto adjust on the monitor as Alex said but now I remember why I removed auto adjust in the first place. Every single different screen has "auto adjust" pop up. The screen wiggles, shakes, steadies, then the "auto adjust" message disappears. That was annoying after a while. The good news is that now I can see the edges. Alex, do you think that I could take the monitor off auto adjust now without messing up the edges of the game? Thank you both so much for the help. Not seeing anything but a tiny sliver of the edge was really bugging me. |

Usually the auto adjust is just a single press of a button, and then never shows up again (my monitor is like that), but now that it's fixed you can take it off.

Thanks Alex.  I just wonder why my monitor continues to do its thing on every new screen. Think I'll call the computer guys. As it is now, I'm thrilled to have the edges back and will keep on keeping on. |
