Screen is 1928 x 1208 instead of 1920 x 1200
As I have a 512 MB nVIDIA GeoForce 8800GT I posted about the
following problem in the nVidia newsgroup a few months ago, but it remains unsolved. It was suggested then by someone that it was probably a hardware problem. Posting in a couple of hardware groups yesterday, I've had suggestions that it's probably a software or graphics card driver problem! Anyway, I'm now finally fed up with it and determined to find a fix. Hence my post here in case it's an OS problem please. -------------------- My XP Pro PC has an Iiyama Prolite E2403WS 24" widescreen monitor, connected with the recommended DVI input. Screen resolution is set in the usual way to 1920 x 1200. But for any maximised window the actual size is 1928 x 1208 and the position is always -4,-4. You can't adjust it with the physical monitor settings, which is only possible for analog connection mode, not DVI. Under Properties, the driver for the monitor is shown as C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color\PLE2403WS. ICM I tried updating that but it made no difference. My nVidia driver is pretty recent, and anyway the problem has been present for nearly 3 years, across several versions. FWIW, here's an extract from Software information in the nVidia control panel: Performance: 6.02.15 nForce package version: Not reported nForce networking: 67.67 (1.00.02.06767) GeForce video: 257.21 (6.14.12.5721) nForce IDE: 9.98 (5.10.2600.0998) nForce audio: Not reported Microsoft DirectX: 9.0c (5.3.260 .2180) I also tried changing from '1920 x 1200(Native)' to 1920 x 1200 custom in the nVidia Control Panel, using the Customise option. No difference. I then even tried 1912 x 1192 to see if I could 'compensate' for those extra 8 px that appear to be getting added. But it wouldn't stick. Gone back to 'native' 1900 x 1200. Any help in discovering where those extra 8 horizontal and vertical pixels are coming from, and removing them, would be much appreciated please. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |
