Well it seems it is my laptop is the problem, i plugged my lappy into my old bodgy 15" CRT and then fiddled with the screen dial and its fine.
So does anyone know of a way to do the same with my laptop's screen? It oesn't have any manual dials or anything like that, and as far as i can see no software mode for it, so are there any utils? I've never had this issue with any other game or program.
Bizarre...
