Weird occurance..
« on: November 10, 2006, 11:23:50 pm »
Following my playing of Starcraft, everything is now blown up.  My Gaim buddy list window, which used to go about 3/4 of the screen, now takes up over one times the screen length.  All my text is blown up, every window is bigger, and things on my desktop are now changed.  Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Serves you right for ditching me to play Starcraft right after you told me "im not in a gaming mood nowadays."

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yeah, sounds like your resolution was downed.

Hahaha.  idiat asked me out of the blue, and my cd was in.  To play BG2, I'd have had to a: find all four discs, b: install them.

My resolution was fine.. that was the first thing I checked.  I then proceeded to raise it, and lower it back to what it was, and it didn't work.  I also rebooted. :\

Secret hint: burn every file off all 4 CDs to a DVD.  No more CD swapping! 

My friend discovered that while waiting for me to install :)

I was out of dvd-r's for a while, and now I don't feel like ripping the cds to ISO, and then burning them again.

Haha.  That was the first time I've gamed in months, give me a break.  When you ask me, I'm not sure if you're kidding half the time or not.  And the other half of the time, I don't have the game installed.

I'm not being pushy, but you don't have to rip the CDs to ISO, just copy all the files off them, then copy them onto a DVD. 

It's not a big deal, obviously, and you aren't going to hurt my feelings (much!!) if you don't do it -- it's just cool, and it's a time-saver :)

Neat.  I may pursue that on my next break (Thanksgiving?), depending on whether or not I get another thirty page chapter to read with a test the first day back, that is.

Same thing used to happen to me when the game would minimize itself, the resolution would obscure itself but would go back to the normal not much later.

That's just latency.  The game requested that the resolution be changed to what it was before the game was opened; it just took your computer a bit to respond.  deadly's dilemma seems to be a bit more permanent.

Oh, yeah.  It seems to have resolved itself..  I left it on overnight and it went "..." and is fixed.  Weird.  What I'm thinking is I might not have noticed it right after my reboot.
