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. -- Ken Robinson NRNS Incorporated DREnet Network Management Centre Note: I'm likely speaking for myself and nobody else.
