Game screen is moved to the left.

Not sure if it's the right place to ask... but anyway.

I'm a PC gaming newbie and I just start downloading demos but I noticed that in all the demos that I downloaded, the game screen is moved to the left.... like I can't see part of the left side of the games and at the right it shows the black. It's like the whole game screen is paned to the left. And outside of playing games on the PC, the screen is normally in the middle. It's really weird. I know it has something to do with my PC settings but I just don't know where. Can somebody help me out please?

Use the controls on the monitor to move the image back to the middle. This is commonplace with CRT monitors where you have to calibrate the screen for different resoutions and refresh rates.Gog

Ding. Gog speaks the truth.

How you know it's a CRT monitor?? The guy never responded back?Xtraflo

Because that's what happens with CRT monitors.

LCD's using VGA may also need calibration.

There is something wrong with your attitude though.

All I'm trying to say, is that if sometimes you switch monitors w/o adjusting your video card and then try loading a game - as you said the calibration could be off. Which is what happened to mine last night. Brought my home PC to work trying to play Crysis and the mouse pointer didn't line up to the icons when you clicked them. I had to readjust my Video settings.

Your mouse pointer didn't line up to the icons? And what setting exactly did you adjust to fix that. I have never heard of that problem before.
