Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hi
I just registred in this Forum :) , my name is Steve and i have a Problem with my 1600x900 Monitor =/
When i try to play some games like... for example Far Cry 2, Call of Juarez The Cartel, Sniper Ghost Warrior..etc
My picture just streches over the edge of my Monitor..the height is ok but it is just left and it streches so i cant see any menu icons ...my Desk is made for 1600x900?
A year ago i had a different PC then all was fine..it was Win XP 32 bit ...now i have Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit and it just pisses me off sometimes |(
If i play these listed games on 1280x800 everthing is fine...but i can play eveery game else on 1600x900

Please can someone help me this is really annoying :tired:
Im Happy for Answers

1600x900 = 16:9
1280x800 = 16:10

What is your display model?

Display model ? hmm i remember when i was playing Call of Juarez it was just running on 1280x768...i dont know how to fix this =/

Display model is the manufacturer and serial number of the display you are using.

Like Dell UltraSharp U3011 or Asus VH238H.

EDIT - And 1280x768 is a 15:9 aspect ratio. With your display model we can verify the correct resolution and aspect ratio.

Acer
Model No : X203H
Version :X203H q

This is definitely a 16:9 monitor with a native res of 1600x900.

This is an interesting problem. Have you tried updating your video card driver?

Yes Indeed, It was 3 days ago and it still didnt work... i can understand it -with Far Cry 2 a bit because i read some posts in the Internet that it doesnt really
support Widescreen ? but i cant really understand it with the new Games...since it was working with Xp 32 bit and the same Grapiccard on my old Pc :Sp
I have a Quad Core
6gb ram
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTS 450- nothin special...but still pretty good.
My pc is Selfmade but everything else works fine =/
I can watch Bluerays without any problems...This annoys me a long time now... :steve:

If you run the free program Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/download.php/) and take a screenshot with it in game, could you post it here? I'd be interested to see what resolution the game runs at and how it looks when a screenshot is taken to know what to start searching for as a potential cause.

Some games have a aspect setting built in. Have you tried looking for that and making sure it is set to 16:9 ?
