    Having a problem. I have a Asus G73JH laptop, with ATI Mobility Radeon 5870. I updated my bios to the latest version so I could install the latest ATI drivers without getting GSOD freezes (knows issue with these laptops, and updating bios fixed that issue). Anyhow, I am finally ably to use the latest ATI drivers and CCC 11.5 without getting freezing/GSOD ... but here is the issue now...

    After installing CCC 11.5 my desktop resolution was set properly (1920x1080p) and using my HDMI out to my LCD display, however the screen wasnt fitting my whole monitor... found out I had to go into CCC and adjust my scaling options... I did that, and it fixed my issue on my Windows 7 desktop, it fills up my full external monitor screen (no black bars around it anymore)... but the issue is when i run video games, the scaling seems to "reset" itself and i am stuck playing games not in full screen... its very frustrating... i tried to ALT TAB and get to my desktop while game is running, by when i switch from the game to the desktop, my monitor flashes and the scaling goes back to its correct way for the desktop, so it doesnt alolow me to adjust the scaling in games... when I alt tab back to my game, screen flickers and goes back to game not filling full screen. I hope I am explaining this correctly. I have seen people have similar issues but never could find a solution directly related to CCC 11.5


    Please help! thanks!!!

    note... i never had this problem with any of these games using the factory video drivers that came with this laptop ... but according to this forum all G73JH users recommended updating the BIOS and updating the latest ATI drivers... so I did, but now games dont play in full screen... weird and FRUSTATING... i donno what to do to fix this....

    It's a BIOS and vBIOS upgrade, not just a bios
