Odd Win 7 display issue
Okay, I've just done a legit Win 7 DVD install to an SSD. Activated, all good.
On trying to install the ATI 5450 display driver, it does install, swears to the gods it's “fine”, yet both my on-screen icons & taskbar are partially obscured?
I tried restarting, tried 70/75/85 htz nada.
WTH is going on? All I did was add an SSD?
Ideas?

Does your monitor have an "auto" button?
The media PC has been in the main living room for some time. The screen is a FHD 40". I've removed the 500GB HDD for the time being, so I can create a fresh Win 7 install to a 120GB SSD in order to image it. Once it's imaged, I upgrade to 10 & image that. I then place the original HDD back.
All I'm doing is future-proofing. I prefer 7 for as long as possible, but want a 10 image ready to go.
So, prior to swapping the old HDD to a new SSD, the TV display was perfect.
I have no idea why it refuses to display correctly now? Same PC, other than the SSD.
And yes, I've tried ALL of the buttons on the TV itself. As I say— it works perfectly on the HDD if I place it back into the media PC.
I have the full, off-line DP.
But the driver from AMD is exactly the one I used previously.
This is exactly what needs to be done.
I've just been through EVERY setting in CCC—- nothing changes it.
I put the old HDD in, all is fine. It is the SAME driver & the SAME PC & the SAME video card….
PS: Overscan was already ticked. I unticked & saved. Then reticked & saved. Nada.
Hopefully you get if fixed by the end of the year
Of course it has to (profanity)-up at this late hour! I figured, drop a small SSD in & get it started- should take an hour or so—- nope!
I guess I'll have to image 7 as-is, even if it's ridiculous & has no solution….ffs!
Seriously- never have I seen this in 20 years of PC work.
Got it!
I completely removed ALL video drivers, restarted, reinstalled them. I then had the ability to adjust under/overscan (prior could tick/untick, but not slide).
Ta & HNY all!
;)
Under my digital flat panels there should be scaling options where you can adjust the underscan and overscan.
