You should install the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site. Also have you tried adjusting your monitor's v-size and v-position dials? v for vertical. Most of the time these controls are located on the front or side of your monitor.

No idea what jtak is talking about, the game forces 1024x768x32bitColor so it is necessary that your system support that video mode.

Do you have a really cheap flatscreen monitor?

What is your video card and monitor? Like if you can give me the specs on them I might be able to find out whats going on.

it's most likely your actual monitor settings, have you considered pressing the buttons ON your monitor and lowering the settings , you can rotate stretch move your monitor in lots of useless ways, btw why do we humans have access to them settings on our monitors? .

glad to be of service.


sometimes your monitor can mess up on its own and requires you to mess around with it, or one of your siblings felt like a technition for the day :P.
