Anyone know how to fix this game video problem?

Hey there. Recently upgraded to a 2005fpw (yay) and I am having some problems with widescreen gaming. For instance, CS:Source has these odd overlaps on each side (see screenshot).

anyone know the fix?

Videocard = ATI 1800xl

those graphics are awesome! ANYWAYS...

something maybe with the drivers? are you using the new cats? could be some monitor problem, but im doubtful on that.

*edit* btw, welcome to the forums!

I am using the new cats. I tried 10 and 10a. Still no go

Yeah... ever hear of the 6month new technology rule... buy technology that's at least 6 months old, by then you can figure out what's wrong.

I barely know anything about x1800s...

Worst post of the year..



OP, have you tried multiple sets of drivers? What was the prior video card in the system before? Did you thoroughly remove those drivers?
