    All of a sudden my middle monitor wont center the screen correctly, So i can see the entire screen. A lil is cutoff one side or another.
    Anybody have a fix for this .?

    On the right side there is an X button, and to the left of that button there is little button with a square, click on it. Alternatively, you can drag the edge of the program to the edge of the monitor. I hope this helps. If not, show a screenshot of the monitor.

    Ok, so try this: Control Panel, put the word "monitor" in the search box at the top.
    You should see "Display" then "Set up computer to use multiple monitors". Try and reset it.

    Before you start fiddling with settings, do a cold restart.

    Specifically, do not hibernate, sleep, suspend, or even reboot.

    Close everything down, shut down, wait a minute or two, and then start your machine back up.

    Thanks guys I tried all that still have to manually adjust screen size to fit .
    i may disconnect the middle from the video card and reconnect and adjust in settings again .
     

  7. Has there been a update happen for your graphics card?

    I had mine play up when AMD rolled out a new version of Catalyst Control Center (V 15.xxxxxx I think from memory). It wouldn't even register 2 of the 4 monitors with the new version.

    I rolled back to the original I had been using (V 14. xxxxxx) and its worked fine since.

    The other thing I've run into is when a windows screen calibration setting changes or is off when compared to the setting is CCC, it can cause some weird things to happen.

    In Windows (8.1), check - Control Panel > Appearance and Personalisation > Display > Screen Resolution.

    Check its registering all monitors and their correct resolution and other settings for each one.

    Then check the settings in your graphics card app/program.

    Most monitors these days still have buttons on them, to get to it's own on-screen menu (not through Windows or Linux or whatever). Check yours. You may find one there to get to the built-in monitor menu. Look for the option that reads "Auto-adjust", "Auto-align" or some variation thereof. Choose it. Might make it all better for ya'.
