Ok, I'm turning to arfcom for this because I can't find anything online. I've tried many keywords in my search for an answer. Computer is running Vista Home.
Ok, I created another user so I could keep business and personal apart. So, I switch users and I want to adjust the screen, gamma and all that. I use Adobe gamma to do this. I did this just before I went to bed and everything seemed fine. I wake up in the morning and there is two black lines on either side of my desktop. Think a tv letterbox display. Pictures displayed in the browser don't look right either. It's a LCD and I find none of the controls that "stretch" the display like my CRT had. This is on both user displays. I had set the resolution when I first got the monitor about 6 months ago to 1024x768. I had to change it to 1289x768 to get rid of the letterbox effect on my desktop. No settings change the effect I'm seeing on the displayed web pages. However, this letterbox effect continues on my web browser. I'm running IE7 but if I try Google chrome, same thing. So I'm guessing it's not the browser. Also the colors etc look different. I've updated the driver on my video card. No effect. I've run a test on monitor, graphic card etc and it says they are fine. As a side note, settings I make in Outlook and some other products change at random. My STMP and POP settings just changed randomly for example. I actually am in IT/IS so I have a great security setup and have done a deep scan using a method involving 4 products and the computer came up clean. No virus/malware. Am I missing something here? |

Don't have much to offer, but I do know that all LCD displays have a 'Native Resolution' … LCD's are designed to display in only one fixed resolution, and it should not be chnaged … Would you like to know more?
You should probably start your troubleshooting by figuring out what that native resolution is first, setting your display configurations to only this setting, and once you've established that baseline, report back your results and see what happens next. |
