I'm having a problem running Final Fantasy XIV in windowed mode. For some unknown reason, I can't seem to get my window to fit the screen. No matter which res. I choose, the screen ends up being way to big and expanding outside the limits of my monitor. Here are my specs and settings:

965 @3.9 (operates @ a max of 62* C)
4gb 1333
5770 oc'd to 950mhz memory and 1250mhz core (operates @ a max of 57* C)
1.5TB 7200 HDD
750W PS
23" WS Acer monitor, max res 1920x1080 (recommended)

Game settings:
Windowed 1600x900 (I have attempted to use every possible setting with the same result)
General:8
Background:3
Shadows: Low
Textures: Standard

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Here is a link to a screenshot I took with both the monitor and the game resolution set as low as 1280x800. You can see the word "start" and below that, going behind the task bar, the rest of the opening options.

is your desktop res set to the 19x10 cause it looks like its set on 12x8 judging from the ss you posted. If the monitor is on 19x10 you might want to check for a patch for the game that addresses this issue. You could also play in full screen mode then set the res in game to 12x8 then hit alt+enter to go to windowed mode... see if that works.

My monitor is set to 1920x1080. I've tried to run the game at every available res, all the way down to 1024x768 with the same results. The screen shot is a screen res. of 1920x1080 and a game res. of 1600x900.

I appreciate the input guys! This is driving me nuts....
