that darned screen size

matthewscrutton · 03-24-08, 08:25 AM

Hi there I'm Matt, I'm new here.

I have a problem with my SH3. I have run it ever since it came out on my old PC downstairs but now I have my own and I cannot run SH3 on it due to the fact my monitor cuts half the screen off at 1024x768 size.

Now I have looked on the net and found like one program thats supposed to sort this out. Of course it didn't it just crashed the game and it refused to run.

Can anyone direct me to an up to date patch or fix that can allow me to run my SH3 on my new PC? At the mo my monitors default setting is 1440x900.

thanks again

Matt

WELCOME ABOARD, MATT!

I have a plain old 19" CRT, so I can't help, but I hope RDP's link does.

Stick around and ask more questions, or just talk to people. We have too many kaleuns who only post when they need help, and we never get to know them. We are a very friendly community here.
