Screen size bug

roscoman · #1 (**permalink**) July 31st, 2004

I am experiencing a very odd problem. Sometimes when I open an application the screen stretches horizontally to about twice the normal width and gets out of alignment with the mouse cursor. The result is that half of the display is off to the right of the screen.

This happens seemingly randomly - the only pattern is that limewire is open whenever it happens. The only way to fix it is to shut down open applications one by one until it flicks back to normal (again, no pattern to which one will make it revert). When it does happen, it is very difficult to find anything out but I can tell that my desktop resolution does not change.

Has anyone heard of this before? Is it Limewire or is that just a coincidence? It only started happening when I got broadband a few days ago.

I have:
AMD Athlon 2100+
XFX GeforceFX 5900XT running omega drivers
Windows XP Pro

Many thanks for help
Ross
