I tried Leyawiin's solution which addresses a lot of the sizing issues. Thanks much to all for your input, though. As a aside, as I had stated in my original post, I did change the DPI but it resulted in less-thann-ideal results. I just decided to stick with the native 1080 setting and adjust...

Great. Thanks for the ideas and I'll give 'em a try when I get home from work. ez

My wife bought me a new monitor this week for my birthday after my trusty Viewsonic CRT finally died. She bought a Viewsonic VX2260wm 1080p LCD and it is SWEEEET! Drivers installed flawlessly on my WinXP system and, per Viewsonics recommendation, I set timing to 1920x1080@60Hz. My games now...

I seem to be having a bit of a problem with NASCAR Racing 2003. After uninstalling the game last year due to some technical issues, I decided to reinstall the game last week. A faster processor (AMD FX-60) and video card (8800GTX) makes the game run buttery smooth. However, there is one issue...

I know from experience that, after upgrading the Zone Alarm software, it will usually throw out a pop-up icon in the lower right corner of the desktop asking if I want to allow it to let Outlook Express to have access to the internet, or IE, or a game, or basically anything that is trying to...

Thanks, much. ez

I'm in the market for a new LCD monitor and would first like to do a bit of research. Does anybody know of any good sites dedicated to reviewing monitors available for sale on the market? Thank. ez

I was searching through the AMD site and saw the following driver listed: AMD Athlon? 64/FX Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16 Device Manager shows that I currently am using the stock drivers from Microsoft installed for my CPU...

I did install v2.10 of nHancer and it didn't seem to help. :( I'm hoping a new driver set will come out that addresses this issue (fingers-crossed!!). ez

I have a BFG 8800GTX and, even though the cards runs great in most games, I am very disappointed with AA of this card. I have tried settings from 2x up to 16xQ, from App. Controlled to Enhanced to Override mode and nothing seems to work. I am getting a bad case of the jaggies in a lot of...

Thanks for the info everyone. Looks like I'll go with the FX-60 as an upgrade. ez

I am in the process of searching for a CPU for my ASUS A8N32-SLI motherboard. It will be the last one I buy for this 939 motherboard, and I was wondering which is the best performer. I was on the AMD website, and they state that the X2 is a better performer than the FX-60. I tend to be a bit...

I have always wondered about the speed designation of the FX series chips. If memory serves me right, I believe that the old FX-50 designation was done away with and simply called the Athlon 64 4000+. I am using a 939 motherboard and probably going to buy an FX-60 CPU, and was wondering what...

I was hoping not to have to use that feature on a widescreen unless absolutely necessary. So, I assume that what you good people are saying is that a movie that states "Widescreen" on the box could still have the bars showing in some instances? ez

I'm in the market for an HDTV(my first!) and was wondering: The sets I looked at were widescreen(16:9) panels. But, when a widescreen movie played on them in the store, I would still see those irritating bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The movies playing were formatted at a 1.85:1...
