No widescreen, so looking for alternative

Postby nine-breaker » Mon Jan 31, 2011 3:32 pm

In the past when I played sge, on what ever system, I could go into the visual setting in control panel and set it to where the application would resize on the screen where I can see everything in a nice square. Well on this newer system I have, windows vista, I can't figure out how to do that. It has an older graphics card, and I believe it is at fault, the card is an ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 mb. I'm ussually pretty computer smart when it comes to these things, but this has utterly stumped me. Any suggestions, I have the desire to play again.

1. Download the newest drivers.
1a. http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/ ... ta-32.aspx (32-Bit)
1b. http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/ ... ta-64.aspx (64-Bit)

2.After installing them, restart your computer.

3. Look on the bottom right, CCC should appear there now. Right click the icon and open CCC.

Follow the instructions below.


Based on the navigation system contained in the ATI Catalyst™ Control Center window, do one of the following:
Navigation menu—From the display palette on the Desktops & Displays page, click the desired TV, and then click Configure in the context menu that appears.
Navigation tree—From the tree in the Graphics Settings tab, expand TV Properties.
Click Adjustments.
Move the Underscan/Overscan slider to adjust the overall size of the image on the TV. Use this slider to adjust any visible black borders around the edge of the image.
Note: The slider is not available for TVs configured to use a custom or the default optimized timing mode.






That should fix your problem.
