problems with my display
I have been having a problem with my display. I have two machines sitting here. One is justs fine and one has its home screen lower than the other by about a quarter of an inch. I have studied the settings on both machines and they seem the same. I am using a acer a231h monitor and my screen size is 1920x1080. I can't figure out why one of my machines has a display which is a quarter of an inch lower than the other. I have my dock at the bottom of the screen and my icons are cut in half. I have tried to move the screen up and failed. This is very strange in that it was working just fine. This leads me to believe that I have screwed something up but I can't find it.
I checked my two machines again. Neither one is using a display driver. The first machine is using a geforce gt 440/pcie/ssp2 for graphics/display (I think this one is a display card). This machine has a display that fits the monitor. The other machine is using AMD® Rs780 (from the motherboard) and I cannot make the display fit the monitor screen (output is about 1/4 inch down from top of display). Neither machine is using an additional driver. I also have some display cards which I think all work. They are:
geforce 8500 gt hdcp, ;p/n 256 p2n741-i-pl 256mb pci-e
geforce 210 512mb ddr2 w/crt/dvi/hdmi/pcie
geforce 8600gt (pci-e) 512mb ddr2+dvi+hdtv out+crt+hdcp
I would appreciate any thoughts on this one. Perhaps I should stop using the graphic output of the motherboard and move to one of the display cards. I guess I could sit here and try everything but, I suspect, there is somebody who knows the answer to my mess.
Thank you.....................
Thoughts?
