Switch to Windowed Mode

If you continue to have trouble playing your game in full screen mode, switch to windowed mode. Under the main menu of the game, select Options, and un-check Full Screen mode.

In some games, Windowed Mode may appear in place of the Full screen option.

You can also try manually adjusting your computer monitor. By tuning the horizontal and vertical holds, you may be able to improve the picture quality.

If you still find that you are running into trouble with the game (regardless of the display mode), a video card update may fix the problem.
