    We play Dragons of Atlantis frequently. Picture on monitor has about 1/4 of right side cut off, will not display. This is only program/game doing such.
    Kabam (game owner/originator/whatever) suggested cleaning cache, deleting cookies, clearing recent history, clearing browser data, etc. Did so, no change.
    Computer instructor at nearby school and computer repair shop suggested restoring to earlier date. Win 7 just installed @ 1 month ago, restore feature never activated.
    Plan on replacing entire sys with up-to-date one. I am convinced this unit was used by Moses.
    I am tired (as I am sure you folks are also) of my chronic and constant problems. But that replacement is not an overnight option and does nothing to help me now.
    I am open to any suggestions, obviously, especially helpful ones.
    Thanks,

    Video information?
    Card, monitor and settings you are using.
    Have you played with the resolution and vsync in that game?

    Set up on site to detect/download driver automatically
    Got message driver could not be found for my system
    Found Radeon R9 200 and R7 200, but not sure those will match Radeon Xpress 200 series
    Thanks

    If the AMD site cannot find your driver, then I guess you are stuck with what you have. Sorry.

    This site claims to have a Windows 7 driver, despite the fact that HP issued no drivers for Win 7
    http://www.driverscape.com/manufacturers/hp/laptops-desktops/hp-dx5150-sff/2831
    Note: if you decide to download the driver, scan it with your security programs to make sure it is clean. I have never used the site so have no idea what they are serving up.

    The version is 8.4 and from 2009.
    Check your driver version. If it is the same version, then downloading would not change a thing.
