Screen Resolution Issue after clean

CCleaner for Windows
1

So I recently installed CCleaner and it worked wonderfully except for one annoyance. Whenever I shut the computer off and turn it on the screen resolution changes for about 1 minute. If I right click on the desktop and select resolution it says its at its normal 1920x1080 and identifies the monitor etc. but in reality there is about a 2-inch thick black border around the screen and after about 30 seconds to a minute it will "pop" back to normal size. I feel like something I did with CCleaner caused this because I have never experienced this in the one year I have been using the desktop.

I did do a registry clean and I thought that was an issue so I merged the registry save back and it didn't solve this issue (maybe I did something wrong?). My graphics card drivers are up to date for my AMD Radeon 6900 series, and I haven't altered anything else recently other than the addition of CCleaner. I am running Windows 7.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

go into your graphics drivers and disable overscan like so: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14823386/sd/2012-07-12_174623.png

Thanks for the response, unfortunately it's already at 0% : /

Try adjusting to 15%, applying, then resetting to 0%

Does the problem continue if you refrain from using CCleaner for several days ?

Or could it be that some time

after about 30 seconds to a minute it will "pop" back to normal size

which indicates Windows has fixed itself (which it has never done for me :angry: )

and perhaps before you shut down you have again used CCleaner again and this has undone the fix so the problem appears on the next start-up.

I only used CCleaner that one time before the issue occurred. What I did find is that if right after I boot up my computer, within that minute or so where the screen is messed up, I go to catalyst control center and slide the underscan/overscan nob back and forth it fixes itself. So that seems to be the problem but not really the permanent solution.

Thanks so much fora ll the help!

I wonder why nobody noticed this.

yes, most likely, when you did the registry clean-up something was messed up. Restoring the backup of the registry files removed may not always fix this.

please see my signature. and remember the rule not to clean everything that is checked off in the analysis

have you attempted to download and reinstall the drivers?

is the screen res messed up upon all boots or only the once?

I noticed that when I updated my CCC to 12.6, it reset the overscan on my main display.

The only entry in the registry I've found relevant to that is

Missing Shared DLL C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\cccutil64.txt HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls

but i think that's a long shot

Well I'm pretty stumped. I ended up going in and uninstalling/wiping all graphics drivers with Driver Fusion and then installing them again STILL having the same issue :(

Seems like for some reason that overscan setting isn't holding on reboot. Is your graphics driver crashing at all? Perhaps roll back to 12.5?
