Counter Strike 1.6 Steam Win7 resolution problem

Hey guys,

I am experiencing resolution problem with my screen while playing CS.
The problem is shown below:

Settings: CS resolution is set to: 1280 x 800
Window Default set to: 1920 x 1080
Problem:
My monitor does not automatically switch to 1280 x 800 resolution when i open CS. which it does for my old 19" monitor. I need to manually change the window default resolution to 1280 x 800 to meet the resolution setting in my CS which is annoying. Please advise for solution.

System Running: Window 7 build
Monitor: Samsung XL2370
Graphic Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX260

SO everytime you start the game, you have to change the resolution? Do you power-off the monitor when not using it? Do you have to change the monitor resolution for windows on login?

Yes I need to change my window resolution to meet the cs resolution every time I start my game.
Yes I turn off my monitor when not using it.
No I don't have to change the monitor resolution for windows on login.
But when i stop playing my game I have to set my resolution for my window back again.

Alright. have you tried running as admin? Or in XP compatibility mode?

Hi guys... Dude When You Play Cs 1.6 there is an auto-tuning in your monitor Press That and You will play cs in full screen

If This Doesnt work Then Try Lowering Your screen refresh Rate and Press auto-tuning button on monitor panel ...

i think this will help You

Dont lower your refresh rate, it can damage your monitor!

Running a lower refresh rate than the monitor is made for can cause a burn-up. Thats what i hear atleast...
