Ugly black band

Post » Tue Apr 12, 2011 12:33 pm

Hi, I'm playing New Vegas on a high performance PC. The game is playing well enough, but I have a black band about 2 inches wide on the right side of the screen, and the whole screen seems skewed to the left. It isn't a monitor issue, as this is the only game that has this problem. Has anyone else come across this, and does anyone have a solutions? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you

Or perhaps the game is set for 4:3 resolution and the monitor is widescreen?

The only "banded" screen symptoms that I am aware of rise out of the crap for video Intel chipset video chips being misused as if they had gaming capability.

Let's have the usual problem report, with hardware data, OS description, and full problem description, shall we?

The author never added any further comment yesterday, so most likely, whatever the problem was, he solved it himself (herself) or one of the responses yesterday already covered it.
