video problem

[Legacy_Cygnus Xone]

               Sorry if this has come up before, I read several threads and did not see this specific issue.

I have Win7 64-bit and an ATI 6000 series video card with up to date drivers.  Everything was fine until I recently upgraded my monitor.  It is a 24 inch wide screen and previously I had a 19 inch 4:3 monitor.

At first, I set my resolution to 1920x1080 because that is the monitor native resolution.  All my programs including my windows desktop and NWN displayed less than full screen, with black all around.  I found a setting in the video drivers that adjusted the scanning and stretched it out to fill the full screen.  I have some other programs that run at other resolutions and I soon learned that I had to adjust the scanning for each resolution.  No problem, eventually all my programs would fill the full screen.

I decided that 1920x1080 was just too small for me so I decided to switch to 1600x900 on my desktop.  I adjusted the scanning and the display fills my whole screen for my desktop and all my programs, except NWN.  For some reason, NWN still fills less than the full screen when set to 1600x900 even though all my other programs (including NWN2) display fine at this resolution.  Confusing me even more is the fact that when I go to set the resolution in NWN, the 1600x900 choice is displayed 3 times.  There seems to be no difference between the 3.

Any help would be appreciated.  I want to run at 1600x900 full screen.

               What's your monitor's exact diagnol screen size?  Is it like 23.7"?  I seem to remember 24" monitor's being 1920X1200 (16:10) natively.  Maybe that's why you have space that's not being taken up when you run it at 1080 (16:9).

What "scanning" are you referring to?  I'm not familiar with that term.

Are you running any other games at 1600x900?  Any non-directx program should hopefully have no problem running at the same resolution as your desktop I would think.

If I were you, I'd try fooling with options like Vertical sync, Anti-Aliasing, and your refresh rate both in game and in the control panel for your GPU.  You may come up with a combination of settings that get's it to display they way you want it.

               In the "AMD VISION Engine Control Center" on the tab called "My Digital Flat Pane's" there is a setting called "Scaling Options".  Here there is a sliding setting that says "underscan" on the left side and "overscan" on the right.  Maybe I should have said "scaling" instead of "scanning"

The native res of the monitor is 1920x1080, not 1920x1200, I'm sure of that.  Every other program fills the screen fine at 1600x900, even NWN2.  Only NWN gives me a problem.
