If I'm pictureing what you are saying right, I think what may be
happening is that the game is coming up in a resolution/refresh
frequency different from what you normally use.   You monitor may be
set to display that particular frequency off to the side a bit.
Perhaps a bit of adjustment would help?  

Which Mag do you have?  I have the MXP17F which has a LCD display that
tells me what mode it's running in.  Eg:  it will state the resolution
and refresh rate on a known one, and if it doesn't recognize it, it
will tell you the horizontal and vertical refreshes.  It's great for
finding out what is really happening.

I'll be picking up NFS tomorrow provided the store I ordered it from
has it.
