Sometimes when I'm just doing whatever I do on the computer, once every day or two, the display gets really really weird.
It basically enlarges the top left hand corner of the screen, and it completely cuts off the rest. I cannot see anything but the top left hand corner, and it covers the whole entire screen.
The mouse pointer doesn't really click where its at. For example, if I right clicked on the desktop, the "properties" will a couple of inches away from the cursor. So, Windows picks it up as if the mouse was clicked somewhere else, not where the cursor really was. I found that out when trying to click on a few things.
It makes it extremely difficult to fix. I can't get to the desktop or whatever I need to do to fix the resolution.
If I hit the power button (starts shutting down), the resolution gets fixed, but things start to close, and it shuts down. Sometimes, if I'm at the desktop, I manage to "feel" where the mouse cursor is at, I can manipulate my way through display settings and change the resolution. If I change it to any other resolution, it gets fixed (shows the whole desktop), then I can change it back to my 1600x1200.
Of course, its very difficult to fix, espically if I'm in a middle of a videogame, or on the internet. Often, the only remedy is to just restart the computer.
It just feels like the display is trying to expand to 4 monitors across (and my monitor is only picks up the left hand side). Its a huge PITA.
As I said, its a very difficult problem to explain. This started to occur after I installed my 6800GT + 61.77 drivers. This never occured with my Ti200.
I'm on WindowsXP SP2, latest drivers on everything.

Thanks in advance for any help. I'd really really liked to get this fixed, its such a huge nuisance whenever I'm on the PC. I'd hate to be doing something important then this occurs.
