    Hi there,

    I have a Toshiba M40 with an ATI Mobility X600, running the latest Omega Drivers with latest ATI Tray Tools.

    Basically, whenever I goto start a game - in this case it being HL2 or any of its mod's, the screen resolution won't fully expand to fit the monitor's size. I have HL2 set to run at 800x600 so that's how it'll litterally appear on screen (taking up say 50% of the monitor). The only way to make it fully expand to fit the screen is to set the game to run at 1280x800 which is the max res the monitor can handle - but as you can imagine this res won't run as smoothly as it does with 800x600.

    I got it to work once, but upon changing the settings in ATI Tray Tools, it's now having this problem again and I can't seem to fix it this time - I don't even recall what setting I changed before anyways.

    I'd love some help :eek:
    If anyone is lost just let me know :)

    Thanks alot!

    Antony

    Ok in case you have ATI too I can help you, and I will sure do it :)

    1. Access Specifications for your Screen, then go advanced...
    2. Now check those tabs above that say Solve Problem and Colour etc. You will see something like "Monitor" there. Click on that tab.
    3. You see a TV, LCD etc. there. You also see a notebook screen, click on Panel there.
    4. There you will see an option like correct image for the screen (means it enlarges it.) Click on that one so it sais yes and save.

    Sorry for my bad English :eek:
