I have been using 2 monitors for quite some time. The main is a 21" Dell 2005FPW Widescreen monitor connected through the DVI cable, the other is some generic 17" standard flat panel Envision piece of junk I use for thottbot and notepad.
I recently moved, and when I set up the computer again, I had trouble getting my monitors to work. I finally got them both up and running (I think it was a conflict w/ an old ethernet card I reinstalled w/out testing first), and now I'm having issues w/ resolution selection.
If I keep the small 17" monitor enabled/plugged in/activated, then I can only select 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. If I disable that monitor, I can only select fullscreen resolutions up to 1600x1200. I was running the game in my screens notive resolution of 1650x1080 for almost two years and never had this problem. My entire UI package I designed is set up for that resolution so now a) the game looks distorted and b) none of it works.
Any ideas on how to fix the resolution? I tried editing the config and saving the resolution as what I want, but it didn't work so I restored the config (it was backed up). I also tried a mod called maximizer, but that didn't work.
Thanks for your help. I'm waiting for a reply from blizzard but I'm hoping somebody out there knows a solution to this problem. The forums on their website are down, like ALWAYS (morons over there need to figure their sh*t out), so... thanks for anything you can offer me :)
