Game windows are not all the way on the screen

Running a five man team on two monitors. one game on main screen and 4 on the other. The four game windows are set to up to take the screen equally (four corners). They appear to be the same size and actually function (swapping, etc works) my issue is all four are shifted to the right so the two right game windows are only showing on the screen by about 10% and I can see my desktop on the left 1/3 of the screen.

Do either of these two 'monitors' happen to actually be a television?

No, both are monitors. However the first time I ran ISBoxer on this computer it was hooked up to a tv as the second screen.

If you've swapped out any hardware, including changing out a TV for a monitor of the same size, you will most likely need to re-run the Window Layout Wizard.

Do you have a Computer created in the upper left pane of your ISBoxer profile?

Re: Game windows are not all the way on the screen

Is your text set to be scaled up beyond 100% in Windows? (Control Panel > Appearance & Personalization > Display)
Is this new monitor hooked up via DVI, display port, or HDMI?

That was it, default was 125%. changed it to 100%. Re did the layout wizard and everything is where it's supposed to be. Thank You!
