Monitor problem

tramazi · 08-08-2002, 01:31 PM

I got a nineteen inch monitor and a new geforce4 card. When I go into HL the resolution changes so that the screen is stretched off the screen.

When I come out of HL the monitor turns itself off then switches back on in correct resolution.

I got latest drivers for everything, is there anything else I can try.

when you are in half life, adjust the screen settings width ect. it will only take effect on that res and the monitor or PC should remember it

*i think*

hold on a tick!!

what refresh rate is your monitor on??

mine did that a bit as my refresh rate was 100hz but hl could only run @ 60hz.

i stuck on my trusty nvidia refresh patch and voila.. sorted

Yep, sounds like a refresh rate issue
