    Hello! I've got a quick question about Lord of the Rings Online on the 1645 (46701gb) if anyone else knows much about that. :) In most games, such as Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, etc, when I'm playing at 720p, the game scales up to fill the entire screen, and LOTRO *used* to do that, but it seems like after installing the 10.3 Preview ATI drivers, it refuses to do so anymore, even after uninstalling CCC/The ATI Drivers and reinstalling 10.2 or the latest driver released by Dell. (Though come to think of it, I never did run Driversweeper..) Has anyone ever ran into these sorts of issues with games on the 1645? Cheers!

    I know this might sound a little condescending, but have you checked your options settings in LOTRO? The majority of the time this thing is governed by the games settings, not your ATI settings.

    Thanks for the reply! I have checked them, and as I said, it *used* to work just great, but for some reason it refuses to anymore. I'm thinking it has something to do with the 10.3 preview drivers, as that's about when I think it started.

    i had the same problem but now...it is gone...it is a setting in ATI driver ( i have 10.3 as well)...the steps
    1-reduce your resolution...lets say (1440*1050) from SCREEN RESOLUTION
    2-open CATALYST CONTROL CENTER
    3-option called DESKTOP & DISPLAYES
    4-you will find a LAPTOP ICON in the bottom Right click on it and select CONFIGURE
    5-in SCALLING OPTIONS ...select FULL SCREEN and apply
    6-return to your original resolution...........have fun

    Darnit! I thought this would work. :( It scales right if I'm not in 1920x1080, but as soon as I go back up to that resolution, it goes back to the middle of the screen. :( Thanks anyways. :(
