Not sure if this belongs in the vid card section or gaming section.
Anyways, I have a resolution problem with some of my games. Whenever I install a game, (Pure, Bioshock, simcity 4 etc) by default its set at the lowest resolution. When I increase my resolution to 1920x1080 the screen goes black except for a small horizontal strip (like 1/10th) of the screen where I can still see the game at the very top. The game still runs as if nothing is wrong, I can still see my mouse cursor and move it where the working part of my screen is.
Even when I press ctrl alt delete to get to the task manager screen I can still only see a small strip of screen at the very top of my monitor. I end up having to reset my computer.
The biggest problem is that when I try playing the game again, the resolution is stuck at 1920x1080 with the screen still being black so i can't find my way around the game menus to change the resolution back. Anyone know how to fix this? BTW I'm running windows 7 my monitor is a dell sp2309w with a resolution of 2048 x 1152, and specs are in my sig.
Thanks.
