OK, I brought this subject up before, never got a conclusive suggestion as to the cause or cure - so will try again...
Ever since this board went to the current level of software, the right side of my display is extended off the screen and not visible - this frequently causes the loss of text or control functions that lie in the "missing" area - and I am unable to include "smilies" in my text simply by clicking on them, even the ones still clearly and entirely remaining on my screen.
The involved area is only about a quarter inch band vertically down the right side, and obviously involves more than just inability to read that area, since I am also losing ability to click on smilies as well - even in THIS message area, where the smilies are WELL within the borders, they still will not apply by clicking on them - there's some connection between the lost screen area and other "normal" control function.
I'm running a 15 inch multi-sync CRT monitor, and a 2. 6 ghz P4 PC with XP operating system - and high-speed DSL. At first, this effect was only about 50% of the time, and usually occurred whenever a too-wide picture was posted, which seemed to buump my display into a different display mode, and it wouldn't return to normal without a reboot - now it does it all the time, tho I haven't made ant related changes I am aware of.
I've tried various different screen resolutions and settings as provided in XP's control panel, but no help there - the type and image area changes - but the noted effect is still there regardless.
This is the ONLY board affected this way, and even here, the REST of the screen is completely normal - it just seems THIS board is seen by my PC as a 75 CPL or so display, rather than 80 CPL...
I seem to be the only user affected, judging by lack of similar comments - anyone have any ideas?
