    EICAS Display Setup

    I was adusting my display on my EICAS computer today and I accidetly rotated the screen. I've got the screen right side up again but now the EICAS doesn't fill the entire screen. I've got this annoying transparent bar down the right hand side that I can see everything running behind PM. If nothings running I can see the desktop image. When I try to move the gauges to the right past the edge of this bar they just disappear as if they were going off the screen. I know it's something easy to fix this problem and get the entire screen filled again but I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Did you try "CTRL-R" to reset the position?

    I didn't use "Ctrl-R" but I did use the reset option in the "Esc" menu. Do they do different things?

    No I think they do the same thing.. Go into the ini and delete the position entries and see if that help.

    OK I've replaced the .exe, .dll, and the .ini file and it still appears. I'm currently in 800x600 and esentially the EICAS is displaying at 600x600. If I drop the display down to 640x480 the EICAS disappears out of the top an bottom edges of the screan and I get an even smaller section down the right side not covered (about 40 pixels).

    When I go into a windowed mode I can click on the full screen and that fills the screen but leaves the windows blue title bar across the top. When I get rid of that bar it goes back to the 600x600 size with the area to the right not covered.
