i'm running an ATI Radeon VE (which i bought off newegg OEM) using the ATI software (the HydraVision and OpenGL) and i seem to be having problems with it.
for more details on the card look here
when i run video files (such as .mpg, etc.) i cannot full screen the image. i have no problems running the videos, so it is not an issue with the codecs, but when i full screen the image, the image size stays the same, except the area running around it remains the same and the video still runs properly; so basically the file is running at a full screen mode, but the image does not cover the entire screen.
what boggles me is that there are certain file extensions that run full screen properly (such as a few .avi files, and) windows media audio/video file files and DVDs off my dvd-rom using PowerDVD) while other "regular" video files such as divx movies or mpegs don't full screen properly.
on top of that, it just seems like i can't resize the images either (such as when i choose the "fit to window" setting in windows media player (tools>view))
I know it is not my windows media player, because the same problem arises when the same video files when i run them using the ati player.
also, i know it's not my monitor (philips 109b20 at 1600x1200) , because i've tried the philips monitor on a different computer and it runs the same video file at full screen properly)
so it must be my video card. i've tried running a different monitor on this computer and the same problem comes up.
i think there must be a setting i need to change, but i can't find it, so if someone could help me, that'd be great.
thanks
