i have boughten two pc games for my pc and both games do not show correctly on the monitor. You can only see half the game on the screen. but it only happens with pc games, everything else works fine, i currently have a pentium 4 3.0 overclocked to 3.38 and a 256m video card by NVIDIA. how can i fix this.

No, he's referring to the graphics settings in the game itself. However, I can't envisage how that would help.
When you say the image only fills the screen, in what way?
Only the top half? A band down the middle with black bars either side? A Band along the middle with black bars top and bottom? Alternating lines?
Help us out...

Do you have another connector on the card you can attach your monitor to?

Not necessarily true. If the cable fits, you should get a picture, as long as your monitor is set to the right mode.

I certainly think so, I think you should have the graphics card replaced.
