Help!!! Some Of My Games Seem To Be "Shifted"

[Guest]

For some reason, certain games I play (not online games) will play correctly,
but the game seems to be shifted up & to the left, so there is a large blank
area on my screen, then what should be the bottom of the screen, is ion the
middle. The game still plays like it should, even the area of the screen I
cannot see is still working(I can still click tabs at the top)

This also occurs when I start my computer up. The Windows Loading Screen and
a screen that comes up saying syntax loading. ANY ideas on how to fix this
problem will be helpful. This problem has only been happening in the past
year. I have restored my system, but nothing happened.I have ALOT of games
that I cannot play.

Probably reflecting different horizontal and vertical position settings
when switching to a different resolution or vertical refresh rate. Find
out what resolution and refresh rate the games are set for, temporarily
set your desktop to that resolution and refresh rate in Display
Properties and adjust the video cards setting and/or your display there.

How Would I Find Out What Resolution/frame rate my games arfe set for?

Could vary with different publishers and even different games from the
same publisher. Someone with the same game might be able to provide
details if you post the game's title.

Hi Rodimusprime118,

Most games allow you to adjust those settings from inside the game.
You would look under the video settings for each of your games..

Thanks For The Help, But ITs Not Just Games, When My Computer Starts Up, My
Windows Loading Screen And Another Loading Screen (Syntax) Are Shifted Up And

Hi Rodimusprime118,

When you start up your computer, and the white on black lettering appears
indicating the system specs, name of the computer, etc.. is that centered?
