In CCC Desktops and Displays > right-click on the small monitor image > configure  Alternatively check your displays settings. Underfed fighters sound like an aspect issue  |

| | @Heroxoot From what I can see, it is just the desktop image that is different. Windows 7 has many different ways of displaying the desktop image. If you right click the Desktop & click Personalisation, then Desktop Backgrounds, there are many different Picture Position settings (Fill, Fit, Strech, Tile, Centre). |

Since its here, GTA4 now has frame lag for me. Never lagged on xp. Is it just one of those games Windows 7 doesnt like as much? Lack of ram due to Windows 7 actually using some? 1 more thing, I dont have gpu scaling option. I use a vga controller. |
