Resolution 1024 X 768 & CS

Hi guys!!

I'm here with a wierd question..

My monitor is able to show the desktop perfectly at a Resolution of 1024 X 768.. and also run a few games @ that resl. (FIFA, NFS, etc).

But whenever I try to play CS (COunter STrike) on my comp.. it doesn't work!
The display seems very very weird .. shrunk within the monitor..

My system config:
P4 2.4 GHz
GFX Card : nVidia GeForce FX 5200..

Is there any solution??

"shrink with monitor" as in? Do you mean those black borders showing up above & below(or sideways)? What's your monitor size? Also have your tried increasing the resolution for the game?

What about the refresh rate ??

C

I think CS works with only 60Hz refresh rate in resoultion 1024 X 768!
Also i think there is no other option to modify this!

i am having same probs.i can play nfsmw,doom3,farcry,splinter cell chaos theory etc etc in full graphics.
bt while playing cs in 800*600,after abt 5-6 rounds machine completely hangs n then all graphics gone.
my monitor resolution in 1440*900.
i can play all other games in such high resolution.

exactly correct.. Black borders are showing up^^ , Monitor size is : 17"

^^ Didn't get what you are asking for.. I haven't tried increasing he resolution more..

@ Everyone:

My monitor refresh rate is set to 85 Hz..

Will that cause a problem ??

@cooldip - Refresh rate can't be the prob. Coz my monitor's refresh rate is set to 85 Hz and me playing cs without any probs.

actually tht resolution ll affect my skills
i play cs1.6 competetively in different tourneys.
there s no monitor tht ll support tht high resolution.
crosshair size ll matter a lot.

You are correct buddy.. The more the resolution the cross-hair size seems to go small & small

Playing a is not a problem here.. The resolution is the prob buddy.. So any suggestions to run the game at that resolution..

i think the reverse one is true.

increasing resolution=increasing crosshair size.

Try lowering the refresh rate to 75Hz & then play with 1024x768.Also when I said increasing the resolution,I meant the in-game resolution to may be 1280x960 or whichever the game adapts the best.

i ll try tht out.thanks

the fact is tht,when i go to play in tourneys,i get max. 17 inch monitors.
those pcs dont hv hifi hardware too.
thts why,i restrict the resolution to 800*600.
i m playin for abt 3 yrs now.really comfortable with tht resolution using large n dynamic crosshair.
dont wanna change tht

Thanx for help....
I got it fixed!!
only monitor was required to be fixed.
The OSD options of Monitor was set!!
The game runs superbly well!!
