Hey guys,
Thanks for the replies, but I'm pretty much fed up with my attempts to get
this working correctly. I've been down the "adjust your TV route" only to
find that my TV has an "auto adjust" feature for the screen (that doesn't
change anything wth the PC) and other than that only the ability to
horizontally/vertically adjust the screen (no resize options). As for the
CCC, I have that installed and there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the
screen (really all I need is to shrink it a bit). Can someone tell me where
they see that option? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Dan
