Dell Laptop Party Black Bars
 

A buddy of mine just got a brand new Dell Inspiron and party is looking all messed up. THere is a lot of blank white spaces in the lobby and when he opens a table it opens with black bars around the sides. I think I remember this problem happening to a lot of people before but couldn't remember how to fix it. Anyone got a clue?

IIRC, it's actually the DPI settings.

IIRC those terms are synonymous when it comes to monitor settings.

I'll defer to your computer expertise. But to a computer-idiot such as myself, if there are two settings you can change, then they're different [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Cahnging the resolution didn't work. Any othre ideas??

Re: Dell Laptop Party Black Bars
 

Try changing the DPI setting, its under the display properties>settings>advanced>general

Make sure its set to "normal size"

Re: Dell Laptop Party Black Bars
 

try emailing part and seeing what your setting should be
