Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / May 2008streched desktop
I encounter a really annoying problem when trying to play a game. The application closes, doesn't even minimise, it just disappears and I get a warning which says that I have to disable my streched desktop. I use ATI graphics and I can find nothing on the settings refering to streched/extended desktop or something. I have tried everything, but there seems to be no solution! Please help me! :(  Signatureemma > I encounter a really annoying problem when trying to play a game.

Please help me! :( What game are you playing and have you checked to see if there's an update for it? If it was not designed to be compatible with Vista then you can try to run it in "compatibility mode" and select the OS it was designed to work with. I am running the Sims 2 but it is compatible with vista. At first it worked perfectly but after three days the streched desktop problem appeared!

May not get back to follow up here but it may help if you mention your system, video card and other details and check that you have the latest video card drivers, usually that will be ATI or NVidia and both have drivers for download at their sites. Also, it is possible to "Stretch" a desktop over two monitors, even it you do not have a second you might check display properties to see if what is there matches your actual setup. > I encounter a really annoying problem when trying to play a game.

Please help me! :( You may want to try: Right click on a empty desktop spot and select Personalize and then Desktop Background. Under how should the picture be positioned select Center vice Fit to Screen. Don |
