dekarguy Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I have a nVidia FX 5700 on my destktop with Windows XP Pro X64 and I have a very odd overscanning problem. When I try to view movies and whatnot with full-screen video (or even maximizing the video player in DualView) The top, bottom and sides are cut off. This wouldn't really be an issue if I wasn't watching stuff with subtitles. I figured I'd get around this by changing the device adjustments in the nvidia control panel for my TV, and it worked just fine, until I stopped the video and started a new one. Every time I move on to something new, I have to readjust the device adjustments and there seems to be no way to save one as default, Does anyone know how to bypass this problem of it forgetting my settings, or possibly a way to regedit or do something to force a different default? Thank you very much, any help will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 It's a pain that the adjustment doesn't stick, but I don't think there's anything we can do with the inf or the registry. The change you make when you adjust the resolution is the same change we would put in the inf, and it wouldn't stick any better. Different resolutions seem to have different levels of overscan. All I can suggest is to try some other resolutions and see if you can find one that works better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I disable Overlay in VLC media player and just full-screen the window, it works right, haven't seen if it will remain that way after a reboot.

Bill Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Trying different drivers might help too, some drivers might remember things better than others, but this setting might not be remembered well at all by any version I can think of. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
