Easy V2d Overflows/overscans Screen

[sacurby]

I am a new user, and need a bit of help with a start up problem - the first (overview?) page of V2D more than occupies the whole screen of my 15" laptop, overlapping all 4 sides (believe this is called overscan). I have tried every differrent monitor resolution setting available with no improvement ... Here's the specs of my system:

 

Compaq Presario F572US Laptop

Vista Home Premium (32 bit), SP1

1GB AMD Athlon, 64X2 Dual Core, 1.7 GHz

Video card: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100, set at 1280x800

 

Thanks for any advice you may have ...

Overscan has nothing to do with what you are seeing. Overscan has to do with your TV set and the part of a video that you do not see on your TV.

 

What are you DPI settings for your screen display? They should be set to 96dpi

Thanks a lot - downsetting the DPI did the trick ... Now I can start converting all the old VHS tapes!!

 

As far as I'm concerned, we can close this issue/thread, but am not sure how to do it.
