Do you have a CRT or LCD? On my CRT if i change it to a low res desktop at a different refresh rate it is partly off screen. You'd have to adjust the monitor controls to move the picture back.

Is the desktop exactly showing half or is it just a little off?

i don't know what type of monitor it is but is the CRT monitors the fat ones? but mine is a flat one it looks like this one

it is on 70 hertz and if i make it lower it is hard to read the text on the screen. it is exactly half way of the screen.
it only goes of the end if i put it on full screen in hl2 but also the mouse is not on the arrow. i have to click about 5 inches to the side for it to click where i want it to.
moving the screen position makes no difference the same bit is still cut off.

the mouse is out of sync with the arrow on the CS:S and hl2 menus as well


THANKS

It's probably a display setting within the video driver. That monitor is a LCD. CRTs work a little differently and that's why I was suggesting to see if you can move the screen position around.

Maybe post a screen shot of the display section of your Video drivers?

when i change the screen reilotion it makes not differance to the games that are open, it is still cut off in the same place.


thanks

Does your screen have an auto adjust button? Might be a long shot, but worth a try if you haven't

welll...i tryed the auto ajust thing and now i cant even get to the menu.
it says "not support" on my monitor(like cable disconected)when i open halflife 2 or CS:S, deathmatch runs fine in a window but not full screen and guildwars is still stretched though i cant run it in a window.
