TUTORIAL: Change Your Default Monitor Size (Projector Depth Fix) Batch file and shortcut creation in
[font="Verdana"]I thought i would post this becasue it may be that not everyone is aware that either a) this is possible, or b) the process can be shortned.
[size="3"][b]If your not usually the adventurous type, dont be put off by the size of this post - the process is actually very simple.[/b][/size]
basically what this will create is a batch file that repeatedly sets the registry with your chosen monitor size for a few minutes, then closes. This shuld be long enough for most games to initialise properly and for the screen change to take effect.
The second part of the guide is optional, but I think very useful. This will basically create a shortcut to your batch file, with a more suitable icon (of your choice) and also start the batch file minimised to stop the window getting in the way of things.
[size="5"][b][u]STEP 1 - create the batch file.[/u][/b][/size]
Right click on your desktop and select [i][b]New > Text Document[/b][/i].
This will create a notepad document which you should now rename to something on the lines of SCREEN SIZE[b].bat[/b]
the last part is [u]essential[/u] - the [b].bat[/b] extension specifies that the file will be a batch file.
When you do this, a window will pop up warning you that changing the extension can cause problems. click [b][i]OK [/i][/b]on that. The icon should now change to some cogs.
[b]IF THIS DOESNT HAPPEN:[/b] then you have likely got your system set up to not display known file types. Its easier for me to just suggest you Google how to change this for your specific opperating system. essentially though, it is in your [i][b]Folder Options [/b][/i]and should just be a simple tick box in the [i][b]View [/b][/i]tab saying [i][b]Hide extensions for known file types [/b][/i]. Untick this box.
Once you have the file set up as a batch file, simply open the document and copy and paste this information into it:
[size="3"][b]For 64 Bit systems:[/b][/size]
[code]@Echo Off
set _loops=0
:start
@REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D" /v MonitorSize /t REG_DWORD /d 80 /f
set /a _loops +=1
if %_loops%==10000 goto end
goto start
:end[/code]
[size="3"][b]For 32 Bit systems:[/b][/size]
[code]@Echo Off
set _loops=0
:start
@REG ADD "HKLM\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\Stereo3D" /v MonitorSize /t REG_DWORD /d 80 /f
set /a _loops +=1
if %_loops%==10000 goto end
goto start
:end
[/code]
The figure [b]80 [/b]in the above codes should be changed to [b]TWICE [/b]the size of your screen. The example above will set up a 40 inch screen. (2*40)
[i][b]Save [/b][/i]and close the document.
All you need to do now is double click the icon before you run any game, and it should ensure that the game stays with the propper screen size.
[size="5"][b][u]STEP 2 - Creating a short cut to tidy things up.[/u][/b][/size]
This step is optional as I said, but I think tidys things up well.
First move your batch file to somewhere out of the way on your computer. this can be anywhere, such as yout c: drive, or [i]my documents [/i]etc.
Now, right click the file and select [i][b]Create Shortcut[/b][/i]. This will create a shortcut to the batch file, which you can now drag/move to your desktop or anywhere else you think is convenient.
The next step is to modify the short cut to make things a bit better for you. to do this, [i][b]Right Click [/b][/i]the short cut and select [i][b]Properties[/b][/i].
Towards the middle of the window there should be an option called [i][b]Run:[/b][/i] click the dropdown and select [i][b]Minimised[/b][/i].
Now click the [i][b]Change Icon... [/b][/i]button and you will be presented with a list of icons (you may receive a popup at first saying there are no icons, just [i][b]OK [/b][/i]this). Now simply select the icon you want. [i]for info, about half way through the list (on Windows 7 anyway) there is an icon of a projector screen - this seems the most appropriate.[/i] Click [i][b]OK [/b][/i]to accept the icon.
Now just click [i][b]OK[/b][/i].
You should now have an icon that represents your screen size mod better, but will also open the batch file minimised so that it doesnt get in the way of things.

Most older games work fine if you change the registry at any point after its opened, seems a lot of new games dont work like that any more. maybe there are a number of activities that reset the registry while the game is initiating.
Seems that even with a 1 second delay, it wont work for witcher 2 and DIRT3. whereas, with some games a 10 second delay was fine.
I used @TIMEOUT 1 after the registry change to set the delay. Not sure if that had anything to do with it - havent really messed arround with CMD commands before so this is the first thing iv put together.
Cant say I notice any slow down while spamming the registry like this, but I did have the CMD window beome unresponseve once, maybe a coincidence. ive been able to play fine with it running for at least an hour without the @TIMEOUT command in.
To be honest, none of this should be necesary becasue this is adressing an issue with broken drivers, but this seems the easiest way to do it without having to mess arround tabbling out of games and tinkering with the registry every time I want to play a game.

Just toying with other options becasue I noticed that having no delay in between the loop casued the processor to be at a constant 50% (although i didnt notice any slowdown [u]at all[/u] during gaming with it running, so im guessing it just used the 50% while it can, and while other processes need the resource it just takes a back seat...)
I tried this, which only pauses for .5 secs
[code]ping -n 1 -w 500 10.0.0.193 > nul 2>&1[/code]
and it still wouldnt work.
Seems it has to be spammed for it to work.
The ideal solution is a for/next loop to repeat the registry change for a few minutes until everythign is loaded properly, then it can free up the resources again. But I dont even know if that is possible in a batch file.

OK.
Found out a way to loop the batch file x number of times. The batch file will now repeat 10,000 times (a couple minutes I reckon) Afer this, the file closes and frees up all resources. Should be long enough.

Tried this for several hours, several times. It seems completely stable and works with games that have problems accepting the registry change using other methods. Think this has pretty much fixed my projector woes...

This is just great! You did the homework for Nvidia, they should've done themselves. With my 100" screen, the default wasn't good enough. Thanks for fixing this. I'll try it today.

What is this projector depth problem that you are talking about? I use a projector and haven't noticed any problem? Just curious if I'm missing out on something.
What is this projector depth problem that you are talking about? I use a projector and haven't noticed any problem? Just curious if I'm missing out on something.
projectors, unlike monitors, do not have a set screen size and have the ability to project an image at a verry wide range. the same projector, for example, can project anything from a 20" image to a 200" image.
The Nvidia default for projectors is usually really high, which means that while you may have a very large screen and things might look fine - you also may not have.
for example, i have an acer h5360 at roughly 120" - the 3D effect on this is acceptable, but I have to have it at max depth all the time and im often wanting a bit more. this is becasue the nvidia default is for a screen larger than my 120" screen...
Now, i also have another projector, which projects an image of only 60" - now at default settings, this screen has roughly half the depth it should have, because nvidia are assuming im using this projector to project a screen of 110" (roughly)
For the smaller screen projector, the 3D is effectively broken. in some games you can struggle to even tell if 3D is switched on unless you crank convergence up.
What the fix does, is tells the driver exactly what screen size i am ACTUALLY using, and therefore the depth is set correctly for my personal setup.
What size screen do you use? and do you ever find yourself wishing there was more depth? if so, then your a victim of the poor implementation of projectors with Nvidias current drivers. (in the past you actually could alter the screen size yourself via the drivers).

I have a h5360 at 93" I use the inf. depth hack, and can set depth too much in every game. 8+" . I'm I right thinking the distance between your eyes is max seperation.

The instructions above should allow you to increase the depth on your 5360.
Just tinker with the numeric value until you find a screen size that works for you. I tend to set my monitor size in the batch file to a number smaller than it should be si that I can increase depth really high if I want to.

if you find that setting the figure to match your 100" screen still isnt good enough (200), then try setting it to something lower. (like 150)
this should give you some wiggle room for games that are pretty bad for depth.

The Nvidia default for projectors is usually really high, which means that while you may have a very large screen and things might look fine - you also may not have.
for example, i have an acer h5360 at roughly 120" - the 3D effect on this is acceptable, but I have to have it at max depth all the time and im often wanting a bit more. this is becasue the nvidia default is for a screen larger than my 120" screen...
Now, i also have another projector, which projects an image of only 60" - now at default settings, this screen has roughly half the depth it should have, because nvidia are assuming im using this projector to project a screen of 110" (roughly)
For the smaller screen projector, the 3D is effectively broken. in some games you can struggle to even tell if 3D is switched on unless you crank convergence up.
What the fix does, is tells the driver exactly what screen size i am ACTUALLY using, and therefore the depth is set correctly for my personal setup.
What size screen do you use? and do you ever find yourself wishing there was more depth? if so, then your a victim of the poor implementation of projectors with Nvidias current drivers. (in the past you actually could alter the screen size yourself via the drivers).
Hope this explains it.
