i usually play my games on xp,but i when i tried to play carbon in vista,It works and looks great like it always do but for one small problem...it only plays 3/4 of the screen.I dontunderstand.i tryed google but i cant seem to find the answer as all my softwaere is updated.
When i play the game from a folder it plays fine,but when i install it in vista it plays on half the screen.I finished the game but need to play it again

do you have a 22"? I have no clue..have you checking the in game graphics options(which im sure you have)?

check if you have the latest drivers installed. Update them.
Also check in the programs folder: start>all programs>NFS Carbon (or whatever)
check to see if you have anything there that you can set the resolutions or system settings for the game.
Another way I can think of is locate the .exe file (should be NFSC.exe or something) in the program files folder and right click the file and select "properties". You can change some settings there that can make it work better in Vista.

well i tried those already and i do have the latest drivers.
Its easy for me to just adjust the monitor by the buttons and shift the screen to the left,but why must i do this now.Before i never needed to

Dude, perhaps its just a vista thing, after all, vista is still a baby.

Ok let me just ajust da monitor,i am gonna hate it but what the hell.

 

[MogenNaidoo]

what monitor do you have CRT or LCD.
If LCD then the remote or menu settings has an automatic adjust screen if you just select that then it would automatically readjusts screen size to take on full screen.
I can't remember if it has this feature on the CRT monitors however if it doesn't then manually adjusting it is your best bet.
