Windows 7: Dual Monitors....aspect ratio issue.

Hi. Have an issue here with a dual monitor setup that is really beginning to irk me. My main display, display 1, is an 'LG 1680 x 1050', display 2 is a 'Samsung 1920 x 1080'..., the problem is, that every once in a while the second displays aspect ratio goes all screwy, like it shifts...for instance, if i have media center on that display, the screen gets cut off so the volume buttons and media center button are off screen.



I can fix it by going into the screen resolution settings and disabling that monitor, and then re-enabling it. But obviously i'd like a more permanent fix.

thanks.

Does media Centre always open on display 2 (the 1920x1080) or do you sometimes open it on the 22" display?

If you bounce back and forth between displays, it may be the 1680x1050 16:10 AR is confusing MC which causes the 'zooming' (for a lack of a better description) when moved to the 1920x1080 16:9 display.

If media centre is only ever opened on the 2nd display and still 'zooms' ... then I'm not quite sure why.

I'm merely hypothesizing as to how this could occur since I haven't personally had this issue occur and therefore don't know of any 'permanent' fixes offhand.

Thanks for the response. Yes, WMC only ever opens on the second display, there's very little switching.

Anyway, the problem hasn't come up in a few days now for whatever reason. Fingers crossed.
