    Trying to get COD2 working on my w3v, in 1280 x 768 (16:10) is an option on the menu, but whenever I select it, it's like the screen gets stretched, and I only see the top left corner of it?
    same this happens in NFSU when i set for 1024 x 768. I'm pretty confident this is a setting in omega drivers. I have my "preserve whide aspect ratio on attached displays" checked in ati Displays tab. Anyone know of what I have to do to resolve this annoying issue?

    btw,


    Using the latest Omega drivers, based on 5.10a catalyst.




    cheers,


    Mike

    I've had issues with the Omega's before. I would either a) uninstall all your video drivers completely and then reinstall them, or b) uninstall the old ones and get the stock ATI Mobility 5.10a.
