Hi. I'm using productivity mode and when I execute a program that uses its own screen (not productivity), that screen is shifted to the right (about an inch and a half). I have been using the monitor controls to move the programs screen back over. Does anyone know whats going on? I hope this is an easy adjustment, it just seems strange that one screen is perfectly centered (with or without overscan). -- ---------------------------------//------------------------------------- Doug Dyer Clemson University // "Splunge!" - MP ddyer@hubcap.clemson.edu \\ // -----------------------------\X/----------------------------------------

You might be able to fix this by adjusting your overscan preferences for both types of screen (productivity and standard) so that they line up. >Doug Dyer Clemson University ddyer@hubcap.clemson.edu -- -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - (215) 431-9421 - Commodore Business Machines uucp: ken@cbmvax.commodore.com or ...{uunet,rutgers}!cbmvax!ken bix: kfarinsky

I have set the overscan prefs. for NTSC and PRODUCTIVITY. They are both centered and overscanned. However, when I run software that ignores the workbench settings, the screen is always halfway off to the right. I tried to remedy this by adjusting the monitor knobs to center the image, and adjust the overscan prefs to it. NTSC will do this, but productivity will not move (those handles) to the right at ALL (even after fully shrinking the window). PRODUCTIVITY insists on being on the left, and NTSC doesnt care. I cant line them up for applications that jump to their own screen. Is there a hardware adjustment or something?

Screen shifting to the right is endemic with left handed video game players. The cure is to try to train yourself not to thump the screen so hard when your character dies. A compromise is to try to alternate the thumps with your right and left hands. :-)
