Help, I am going crazy over this issue, Was it a mistake t..

I have a P4C800 Dx with an AGP, Radeon All-IN-WONDER 9600 Vcard, WinXP, P4
2.1gig and 512 RAM

After I installed the system everything worked fine. A while back the
picture of my monitor stopped using the full screen, after attempting to fix
the problem with new drivers and checking the hardware, I re-formatted the
PC, a Maxtor 80G which requires a DDO program to be fully recognized by XP,
and installed everything anew.

It was fine untill I started a game, Madden 2005, the screen windowed, not
full screen, while the game was on. On exiting the game, the monitor was
full again.

Well, today even the Windows XP desktop was smaller and everything is back
to where I was.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

BTW, on startup, the screen was windowed up to the Win XP Welcome screen.

The screen used to be full all the time, from the start.

what do you mean full screen.....what is your resolution set on...if your use to
800x600 and then its set to (example) 1024x768...then it will appear to be
smaller and not be edge to edge on the monitor without making adjustment...My
monitor has a 'on screen control' for such purposes.

On a different note, why would you need a DDO? Wouldn't a P4C800 and XP
SP1 recognize an 80G drive? You must be using FAT32 vs NTFS.

This does not sound like a motherboard issue at all. It sounds more like a
problem with the settings on your monitor.

Did you try setting the screen width and height correctly while the game is
running? Some / most older monitors require setting up for each resolution
separately.

I am using NTSF and when tried to use the HDD without DDO, it wouldn't
detect it.

May be there is the mistake, I will try to install it without DDO.

That's false. Using the Maxtor DDO was a HUGE mistake.

Nope, something else was wrong. Avoid DDO.

YES, expunge DDO from everywhere.

I have a P4C800 DLX with Windows XP and a 80gb D: using Fat32 and I
did not need any additional software to set it up.

And as for the closing screen, have you overridden the refresh rate
safeguards, I have seen it mentioned in various groups that using the
incorrect refresh rate can do permanent damage to the monitor.

The nVidia drivers I have has disabled the refresh rates that it
believes that my monitor cant handle, I can override if I want to risk
instability or damage. And yes I did read that you are using a Radeon
card, but I would thing that they control refresh rates as well.
