I have a flat panel display using a DVI connector with a nvidia 6 series card. I moved my computer and when I plugged it back in as soon as windows booted up past the welcome screen the monitor lost siad "no signal". I booted it in safe mode and reinstalled the drivers and it booted fine but now the desktop is stretched out past edge of the monitor. If I move the mouse to the far right the screen scrolls to the right to reveal the rest of the desktop. Sorry if that isn't understandable I'll try to explain it better if this cannot be understood.
The problem is that 1) my monitor is no longer in native resolution (1440 x 900) becaue it's being stretched and looks bad. Second I don't want to have to scroll all over the place to see everyting i need. Is there a way to fix this. I don't know what vocabulary to use to find a solution using google so I'm hoping somebody here will know what to do.
So far i've tried changed the resolution back and forth and re booting it. I'll try reinstalling the drivers to make sure that's not the problem.
One last thing, I also just upgraded my physical ram but can't imagine that would be the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So if we're all ip unnbanned from head-fi it stands to reason that all the con artist's IP have also been unbanned. I wonder if any of them will return.

Not really. I think I have an inherently addictive personality.
Maybe things like: my mom used to always make the same thing for dinner (or same few things); used to always let me play the same games -- so maybe she just encouraged sameness.
And I think you meant Head-Case, not Head-Fi, FTL.
No, I meant head-fi. I've noticed that there are way more obsesive compulsive people over at head-fi than here. Just look at the for sale forums. What I like about headcase is that the fastest moving thread is "what are you listening to right now".
-
I've noticed this for a long time on head-fi but the last 5 or so threads in this topic have really driven it home. what games are you playing?, Post what you're watching, What are you EATING right now?, book-buying compulsion, Post the last thing you bought!, and What are you reading now? These are all grade A compulsions to disassociate from our emotions on top of our big obsessive compulsive disorder, audiophilia.
So to make a long story short, tell us how baddly you were abused as a child.

I have about 30 books by chekhov by different translators, 4 copies of Don Quixote again different translations and multiple copies of several copies of different samuel beckett books just because I liked the way they look. I spend about 150 dollars on used books a month which is a ton for my income.

I wish that'd been true when I lived in kirkland, wa. That stupid grass grew faster than anywhere I'd ever lived. Felt like I had to mow constantly. Of course, I had a dull manual mower.
oh man that sucks. those types of push mowers blow so much ass.
I didn't know kirkland was so differend from olympia where I live. I swear I've never had to mow the lawn more than twice a year.

In the pacific northwest you only have to mow the lawn about once a year maybe twice.

Of course jude is entitled to do what ever he wants with head-fi. what pisses me off is that he chooses to make it an over moderated crapbox. He's been working in an office for far too long in my opinion. He acts like if one person posts a picture of a pre-op, double amputee transexual the world will come apart.

I really don't think that will happen.

Actually aerius really thought of a good idea. If she's the type to hit it and leave then so be it. If she's the type to hit it but still want more she can make a grand, crazy, F buddy.
So it's a win/win situation.
I you manipulate somebody like that then the price you pay is with your soul.

Dude you keep coming with these weird stories.
Ha you're right. I put out a vibe because I'm nutty myself. I just for the most part keep it to myself.
My favorite weird story is the only time I've been in a car accident. I was on a busy street and needed to parallel park. i didn't want to back into the spot and stall traffic so I just tried to slide in front fist. The side of my door rubbed the bumper of one of the 2 cars I was trying to slide in between. There was no damage to my can but some paint was rubbed of the bumper of the other car. Then I noticed that there was a man still in the car that I had hit. I go up to him and ask if he's alright and if he wants to exchange ensurence information. I'm shaken up because up until that point I'd never been in an accident. When my eyes finally meet the man in the cars eyes I notice that he only has one. He's not wearing an eye patch and the socket had healed over and is smooth and glossy and was about 3/4 of an inch deep. When he'd move is eye to look around the muscles in the empty socket would squirm and writhe inside of that pit. I'm glad I rarely get high because if I were then I think I would have given up the ghost. Man I still get a little weird feeling every time I think of that story.

This girl made friends with me on myspace because we had similar interests and we wrote back and forth for a couple of weeks. After a while I began to see that she was more than a little crazy and started backing off. She then wanted to come and visit me and that's when I got out it entirely. I told her that she was too chaotic for me and we needed to stop talking. That was about a month ago. I just got two phone calls from friends that said that she had written crazy harassing messages to them. They were both on my myspace friends list and I now have no idea how many of these letters she sent out.
I wrote everyone explaining the situation. My question to you guys is what the hell do I do about this? I haven't contacted because I beleive that will just give her fuel. I filled a complaint with myspace as did the two people that got the harassing emails. That was last night and I've gotten no word back from them. I know that there will be nothing that they can do anyway since even if they delete her account she can just make another one. I don't think they can ban her IP address. I've never had to deal with anything like this and am wondering if there Is there anything else I can do?

I remember the first time I was censored at head-fi. I created a ridiculous post about getting high and getting on a city bus. There was strange acting man (weird I know) that was holding onto his back. When he pulled the rope to call a stop, he got up and lifted up his shirt. He had an abscess about the size of a golf ball cut in half. When he pressed on is a very thin fluid spilled out of it and down his jeans. It was the second most surreal thing I had ever seen in my life. Coupled with the fact that I was stoned made it seem like it was occurring in a dream.
Strangely that post was deleted with out any IM saying that it had. I though a hic-cough caused it to never get created so I created another. Again it disappeared so again I created another. This one was deleted with an email from "jude the rude dude that poops in his food" (real birth name) saying "we get it. you were high..." I then put that letter in my sig and was promptly banned for a week.

I clicked on a link in a google search and found that I can now access the head-fi page after about a 4 month IP ban. It makes me want to create a new account a reek some more high-jinx.

wow bad times, I wonder if he can sue Zeus for this?

what kind of baby reports a post?! That says to me that there are a lot of people that don't have any real friends. That tattle tale bullshit should have been bread out of them by the 3rd grade by humiliation and ridicule from their good friends.

I can't be the first person the figure this out but if you are using windows XP then set your screen saver to 3D text and in the settings select wingdings as the font and type the letters FB (both in caps). You get this as your screen saver.

so is that a visually revamped port of the original for xbox? I really want to play that game but don't want to buy a 500 dollar system to play it. I might change my mind when metal gear solid 4 comes out however. I've been think about sell my redundant kidney anyway.

what's also wierd is that this only happens using the montors native resolution 1440 x 900. In all other supported resolutions the desktop is centered and not extended off screen. I'm so angry that only this emoticon can express my true rage!!!
