Lately, when im playing a game and i set the resolution to 1024*768 or higher the monitor compresses everything to the right and various vertical purple lines appear on the right of the monitor. i tried to set the monitor options to modify this but it was in vain. i can't put it in the normal way. this started happening only lately so something has gone wrong.

can it be the video card?

your help would be apprecieated

Could be the video card/drivers or monitor

Does the Device Manager show any yellow ? or yellow ! beside the video

Are you sure your system can support the 1024*768 or higher resolution?
What is the normal resolution you use?

No it does not show any yellow in the device manager. and yes my pc supports 1024*768 resolution. i use the 1024*768 resolution in the desktop and i used to use it too in games but now i don't know what happened.... i can't use it any longer in games without having this problem. when i'm operating in the os i dont have any problems with the 1024*768 resolution.

Can you test this on another monitor? How old is it?

Does it happen with certain games or all games? Try another monitor as suggested
