Need more help, new video card and 2 monitor resolution


Hyperstrike

Hi,

I hope you all can help me, as you have in the past. I installed an ATI Radeon HD5670 graphics card. It works great and the game looks better than I have ever seen it. BUT, I decided to use two monitors. I was using my HDTV as a singl monitor. While that works great for the game, for just surfing around it was just to difficult to read. So I hooked up the LCD monitor that came with my computer.

My problem is that I can not get the resolutions set right for the game to be full screen on the tv. It's off center and goes off screen. I'm not sure what to set what at. Do I use the grapic card control panel? Do I use Windows display control panel? I'm pretty much confused here. I'm not even sure what info to put here to help you help me.

So, um, help!

This is somewhat normal for video cards outputting to televisions.

You'll want to use the built in driver tools to adjust the television image.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

You'll also want to check and make sure you're not spanning your desktop across the two displays, as opposed to Windows treating them as separate monitors.

How do I do that?
