 Major screen issue My computer thinks that there are 2 screens plugged in.
My mouse can go FAR off the screen to the left. My resolution went from 1440x900 to 2880x900.
What the ♥♥♥♥?

Re: Major screen issue Change the resolution back and probably should reinstall the video driver.

Re: Major screen issue I already tried changing the resolution. What would cause this?
Maybe a different channel on my monitor will work?

Re: Major screen issue Yes, I do have Vista. I tried installing OS X like an hour ago(but my partition didn't show up), but that doesn't mean anything.
I was getting normal input on my Digital channel, and the "2nd" input on Analog. I just unplugged the analog cord and restored NVIDIA's defaults and it's back to normal.

Re: Major screen issue Right click desktop, personalize.
Display Settings, see if two monitors show up.

Re: Major screen issue Yeah, but it's inactive. I guess that's cuz I unplugged the analog cord.

Re: Major screen issue I went into the NVIDIA control panel and restored the defaults. And unplugged the white cord from my monitor.

Re: Major screen issue Interesting, from what you've said it appears to me that your computer thought that the screen was both screens due to it being plugged in both ways.
I'd be interested to see if you could do some things with an extremely large screen and screen changer programs...
