Since a few weeks, my monitor is acting weird when playing certain games.
My screen is getting squished vertically, I get these "black bars" on every side, same when watching wide-screen movie on TV, but instead having a black bar up and under, I have them on each side.
This is really getting annoying, and the only way to make it work normal, is to slam on the monitor with my hands, sometimes a gentle tap is enough, sometimes I nearly have to smash it with my fists, wich I won't do because I don't want to demolish my monitor.
All the cables are plugged in properly, the graphics card the latest drivers, and it does not happen anywhere but in games, programs like photoshop, word, and windows itself don't have any problem with this.
My computer specs :
P4 2 ghz
1 gig of ram.
and the important thing, in this case, graphics card is an Ati Radeon 9500 Pro 128 MB ram.
My monitor btw is a 17 inch Medion.
D: what could this mean? any help/suggestions would be apreciated.
(and please, no "buy new monitor" suggestions, coz I don't have such a big budget)
