Ok, so I just installed a new hard drive due to warnings my old was about to crash. I did not copy the old hard drive onto the new, I simply used my Asus recovery discs to install a new, fresh installation onto the new drive. Everything went smooth, even finally managed to get the updates to install (think my old drive the OS was getting severely corrupted).
However I am at a loss here on getting things back to how I want them. Like I want to run my monitor on 1900 x 1200 like I previously did. However, when I do that it's pushing everything well off the edges of the screen. Yes, I made sure my video drivers are up to date, even tried installing an older driver to no avail. Right now I'm at 1776 x 1000 and everything looks just a bit "off".
Yes, my video card supports the resolution and much more. It's an AMD Radeon XFX 7870 graphics card with 4 gig of ram on it. So I'm stumped here. It's been a long time since I set up a new drive as my other one lasted 6 years here. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
Also I use a 40 inch HD TV for my monitor and it supports the resolution as well as it was previously working just fine.
