Black border around desktop after re installation of Vista
Hey guys, I have 2 problems:
1) although my desktop is stretched to take advantage of full screen, it has a thin black boarder round it.
2) the text is blurry on the screen
I have installed
The latest 9.2 Catalyst Drivers
My monitor Drivers from ViewSonic
I have set it to the max res as suggested which is 1920 x 1080
I dont get this problem at lower resolutions, but would like my minitor to be at 1920x 1080

Re: Black boarder around desktop after re installation of Vista

Re: Black border around desktop after re installation of Vista
Ok its not fixed as I thought it was, although I have solved the black boarder, Im getting blurry text now not just in Windows but things like iTunes, Google Chrome and IE. Anyone know how I can correct it. I have tried changing resolutions, using cleartype etc, but it doesn't make a difference I have an ATi Radeon HD4850 if that helps, incase there is something in the catalyst control panel I can adjust
