This hasn't happened before, but when I run a DarkBasic program without changing the screen resolution now, the camera view is half off the screen to the left side and slightly upwards. It doesnt happen if I change the screen resolution to anything besides 640x480 but when this started happening the framerate for any programs I run also drops significantly. Does anyone know why this is happening?

If you got a new graphics card or monitor or both, you have to make sure you've set it/them up for 640x480 resolution. You'll have to position the screen on the monitor etc.

Also, in your main DarkBASIC directory (where the main exe DB.exe resides), look at setup.ini and make sure everything is as you want it - especially this section:

[STARTUP]
window=0
winposx=0
winposy=0
winsizex=640
winsizey=480

Enjoy your day.

I haven't got a new monitor or graphics card, but the graphics card running the second monitor has a TV display mode. Could it have gotten switched into the TV mode and not show it? That would explain the slight screen offset and drop in framerate, but its the first thing I checked on the computer and it says it isn't set to TV display. The problem started while I was in the middle of working on a DarkBasic program so I'm not sure if its something caused by DarkBasic or it is just happening when I run programs because of something else that happened.
