Strange game problem?

[mad mike 0]

Gday

I am having a strange problem and I hope that someone can help me. When playing games like Baldurs Gate or Nox, the game screen size is larger then the normal windows size. So all the sides of the game are cropped. I have a TNT video card. And it only happens one some games.. weird.

Any help would are great.

cheers

Look at your monitor, you see these knobs on front of the monitor. You might try to use them to shrink/size the picture

As for your Q Mike, sorry dude, I don't probs with either of these games, but I have a TNT2. If you haven't already, update your video drivers to 6.18 and see if they make any change

 

 

Good luck dude

Actually Bishop is quite correct.

 

If your games use different resolutions, colours or refresh rates the picture is often a different size.

 

If you have a digital monitor, it will save the settings for each unique combination of colour/res/refresh.

 

Therefore, just adjust the size to suit and your monitor will remember what it has to do.

Thanks for the ideas. I played with monitor, however this just makes the game screen too long or wide, and not how it use to look on 98SE. I just updated my drivers to 6.18 and it did not help, in fact baldurs gate refuses to work at all now. It something I will have to work on.
