Partially Dissappearing Menus

[MetalMarvels]

Running 9.1 SP2. Just changed from a CRT monitor to an Acer LCD - native 1280 x 1024 resolution, with an NVIDIA GeForce 6800GT video card. My problem is that some of the pop-up menus are missing parts of the menu. For example, the "File", "Save" menu - everything below the "File Name" box and everything to the right of the "List" icon is simply cut off. I have tried different resolutions (including 1024 x 768), different fonts (larger and smaller), etc. and can't get the "missing" part of the menu to display. I switched back to the CRT at 1024 x 768 and the missing parts are displayed - flip back to the LCD and it is gone again. Any thoughts??????

Just a crazy thought did you try restarting mcam or rebooting the pc ?

Get the latest vid drivers.

 

Nvidia has new drivers out this month that should

help.

 

New drivers do wonders in many ways

Forgot to mention - did update the NVIDIA drivers to the latest - no change in the problem. Messed with H/W acceleration on video card with no change. Also completely reloaded MC - same deal. Also upgraded to 4 Gigs of RAM (games run much better, but no real change in MC - previously had 1 Gig).

Do I hear an upgrade to X2 coming.....

Nope - not in the budget I am afraid - one of the hazards of owning your own small shop. Can't readily justify the upgrade at this tiem.

How old is your hardware, vid card, board - etc?

 

Does it work in safe mode(most basic drivers)

 

I,m thinking a compatability issue or possibly a monitor driver.

 

Can you take your p.c. and monitor to the place you purchased the mon., maybe they can figure it out for free.

 

Or can you budget a nerd for an hour?

Turn off MC, Run CNC Reg, then under the Registery setting tab hit all the reset buttons. Then restart MC.

Hats off to Marc!!!!

 

The reset on all the options under CNCReg.exe did the job beautifully! All these years mucking with MC and I didn't realize that was there.

 

Thanks much!
