scrolling desktop and other things, UDA nvidia drivers (new)

[demonmaster3k]

i recently checked the nvidia drivers downloads site for new firmware. when i installed the new firmware (it was driver v160 something like that). i noticed that half of my status pane was cut off. when i moved the mouse to see, the screen scrolled over revealing the cut-off section.

my question is; is this even normal for nvidia cards? i mean my drivers never did this before and i really dont want it to intefere with my games.

also, i messed with the overclock settings (i got like 6 or 7 fans in my box) is 500 MHZ a good clock speed for my gpu, i tried to push it to 585MHZ but my comp hung up and i got a blue screen afterwards...

if you didn't know what drivers these are, just go to nvidia.com>drivers and downloads>graphics adapters>geforce fx series>windows xp 32

hope anyone can help me with this scrolling desktop problem

Scrolling desktop? Use the proper resolution for your monitor and it doesn't do that.

lmao, this is almost a noob question, do what goat said...if you have a 17" or 19" chances are you use 1280x1024 or a higher res for a widescreen 19"

My nVidia card thought my monitor was a TV so even though my desktop resolution was set to 1280x1024 it still only showed 640x800, and would allow me to scroll around.

Change it
