Screen size with Radeon 8500

[Challenger]

I have a Radeon 8500 and I installed the newest drivers and when I change resolutions the screen gets so big that I have to move the cusor to the screen edges to get the screen to scroll up and down.I cann't remember how to fix it.Can anyone help me out?

that means the resolution is too big for your monitor, i think.

Are you sure your monitor even supports that resolution?

This just means that your resolutin is higher than the one set in the "attributes" tab in the display settings. All you need to do is put the resolution higher in in the "attributes" section and you'll be ok....

Do you have a tv or vcr connected to the video or svideo output? If you do you need to reconfigure your tv as a clone of the vga, at least that's what I had to do.

I only have the one monitor hooked up.I'v had this encounter before and fixed it, it's something real simple but for the life of me I cann't remember how:|

Do what I said ... I have a radeon and it did the same exact thing.... just go in the "Attributes" and choose the highest resolution your montor can support....
