AGS screen position (SOLVED)

[stuh505]

some AGS games which run in different resolution do not have their screen adjusted correctly so it shows up off the edge of the monitor...but I don't want to have to change my screen settings everytime I start and stop playing.  does anyone know how to fix this problem?

this is probably your monitors problem, some monitors resize the picture in low resolutions and low refresh rate (60hz), that applys for CRT monitors, if you have CRT try to look (when in game) what refresh rate you have...

well, I do have a CRT monitor, a ViewSonic G90fb 19"...and I have the refresh rate set to 85 Hz.  I don't think that the refresh rate of the monitor changes when I run different programs, though...

it is displaying the correct resolution, but it just shifts it off the edge of the screen

Don't monitors usually save the screen size and position for each resolution/refresh rate combination seperately?
To me it happens when I start a game for the first time that uses a combination that I haven't yet adjusted the screen for. So I adjust my monitor and then all games that use that resolution/refresh combo look fine.
My monitor automatically saves the settings, maybe you have to save it yourself on yours?

Strazer, that was it how silly that I did not know this...
