Ok, everything looks fine on my computer but when I test it on the family computer the top and the bottom are cut-off a bit (about 10 pixels). This kinda messes up the HUD. I've tried playing with the monitor settings and screen resolutions on the family computer but to no avail. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

In your program have you tried setting the resolution to 800 by 600?My computer will not display 640 by 480 correctly and does what you describe but a bit worse. It runs higher resolutions fine.

It's a little known fact, but did you know that you can get drivers for your monitor?

This sounds like you might need to locate and install correct monitor drivers so that you get the correct refresh rates/adjustments for different resolutions.
