    Screen resolution difficulties.


    I recent got a new computer and I got a new monitor to go with it. None of the resolutions that the PC will let me use will fit. Is there any way that I can create a custom resolution, or find more resolutions that will fit? (My driver and PC are up to date, so that isn't the issue). Thanks.

    :)
