    Hello, I have two problems on my PC if anybody can help?

    1. When I reset my resolution, everything seems bigger, and is bigger, is there a way to turn it smaller?

    2. Steam and everything associated with Steam e.g. all of the games I purchased, will not launch, maybe Brick Rigs can, but it freezes and closes, so I can't get onto Steam the app, but it is fine on the browser, is there a way to fix this?




    Thanks in advance!

    Is the resolution set to the recommended setting?


    Try reinstalling Steam? That's a weird issue that I've never had before.

    Did you just start using your TV as a monitor?, Or have you been using it for a while and then the problem started?
    TVs don't always work well with computers.


    You could also try contacting Steam if you can't fix the issue.

    I'm not sure what could be causing it. Is this a desktop or a laptop?

    SkyTech isn't supposed be great. Sounds like you could have a GPU issue.

    I'm pretty sure you have a GPU issue. Try reinstalling the drivers.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    What CPU and GPU do you have?

    Btw the TV resolution is strange, i never heard of 1080x1014. Check what video cable are you using (HDMI, DVI, VGA etc...) and if you can swap it with another one just to exclude cable issues

    Brick Rigs had an update, it was hard, took a coupled of days, it updated, then it was fixed, just like that, AND I didn't even know that would do anything, crazy huh?

    Have you tried resetting the computer? What's your computer's specs? Anyway, I have one problem that I need to fix myself. (Off-Topic) (READ BELOW)

    Hello guys and gals, good afternoon everyone, I've run into a problem. My Gavril D-Series (the starter vehicle) has gotten into a habit of unintentionally accelerating (pretty much like the problem Toyota had in 2010), I've tried everything, but each time I click my left mouse pointer, it accelerates out of the blue. Could someone please remedy the solution to this problem?
