First of all, please include a comprehensive PC spec list when posting a problem on these forums - without it, helping can be quite difficult.

Also, please describe your issue in a coherent manner - 'connected to vga and hdmi vga is fine' really doesnt make sense.

Sorry to sound a jerk, but you gotta help us to help you! :)

lol its ok here is my pc specs
gtx 660 driver:geforce 326.41
intel i5 3570k
msi z77a g41
cooler master haf 912
seagate barracuda 1tb
8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
corsair cx500m
windows 8 64 bit
and what i mean with the vga thing is my monitor is connected with a vga cable and a hdmi cable i can switch between them using my monitor remote on vga the screen size is fine but cant go up to 1080p and with hdmi its at 1080p but like i said the screen size is spread out so i cant see any of my desktop icons and the bottom task bar.

Have you turned off your computer and let it reboot after you removed the VGA cable
