changed cable...now desktop too big for screen
weird weird issue
have a new alienware...worked great out of the box hooked up to a Vizio 32'' lcd tv (Vizio VW32L HDTV40A )
went away for two days and shut it down. just put it on. no picture-its a cheapo hdmi cable so i instead use a better cable i have lying around. picture now appears but desktop too big (bottom toolbar half off screen and left side of desktop about half inch off the side).
been playing with settings for two hours with no luck.
alienware has a direct hdmi output i am using which appears to be controlled by the intel graphcs chip.
there is also a nvidia graphics card with html output. i can use this and use the nvidia settings to manually fit the image to the screen so it fits, but it doesn't look correct (too stretched out).
is there another solution here? so confused since it worked absolutely fine before i shut down the system.
thanks!!!!!!
