Uh..

What was the problem?
What did you do to fix it?
How did you figure it out?


Just wondering so future searchers can find something constructive here.

Thanks...

I don't know how littleking fixed his, but I set my colors to 16 bit and it worked fine at 1680. But since my eyes aren't that good I had to set the pixel count back to 14xx something or other. Whatever that setting was.
