I have been using a XFX GeForce 6200 card in my workstation for a while and was quite happy with it. Recently I've repurposed my workstation as a living room entertainment PC and this card had no problem supporting TV-Out to my ancient projection TV.
However, just like most gadgets of mine, good time doesn't last forever! This Sunday after I exit from playing a movie through Real Player full screen mode, the Windows XP Desktop all of a sudden "lost its edge" or you could think of it as overstretched and ran outside the "border of the screen" It's hard to describe but you get the idea. This sounds very minor but also very annoying. Suddenly I am not able to reach and select from the "File" menu or close windows using the "red cross" icon!
I know the solution will have something to do with adjusting the setting of the video card but I couldn't think of any suitable setting. Finally I get to the GeForce tab on the "Display" settings of control menu. I chose my first option, i.e. TV Output, and click the "Device Adjustment" button, which opens another Windows. Still, no setting seem appropriate. Anyway I tweak a little bit of this and that and then exit. Viola! I have "regained my edge"
I dunno how common this problem is but if you run into it, try my solution above.
