Warrior Reporting.....

....a weird bug where the app thinks i've got some sort of NORAD-style multi-monitor setup (as in: 4+ monitors) or something among those lines. Some of the affected games include:

-F1 2001 (Image Space/EA Sports, 2001)
-NASCAR 2000 (Stromfront Studios/EA Sports, 2000)
-V-Rally 2 Expert Edition aka Test Drive V-Rally (Eden Studios/Infogrames Europe, 2000)
-Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider aka Sheep, Dog n' Wolf (Atari/Infogrames Europe, 2001)
-Wacky Races (Appaloosa Interactive/Infogrames, 2001)*
-Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (EA Seattle/Electronic Arts, 1998)
-Motorhead (Digital Illusions/Gremlin/Fox Interactive, 1998)

....and several others. No matter if it's the current version or them previous builds, it does the same on every one of the aforementioned games.

I'm hoping there's a solution or fix somewhere....

"Display 16"

your system is literally telling it that it does.

How many displays do you have in the "Full Screen Output" combo box?

The name \\.\DISPLAY16 should not matter, the ordinal can increase if a new monitor is attached to the system.
For example, I have \\.\DISPLAY1 and \\.\DISPLAY5 for my monitors respectively.

Yup. "16"....despite switching my main -and only- monitor back to the "DP1" ("main") input on my current GPU (GigaByte RTX 2060). #JustConfirmed
-Should be marked as "DISPLAY1" though....-

Then I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by NORAD-style multi-monitor setup. The game window covers only the left-top part of the monitor, or sg like that?

#OH It's like the app acts up on me as if I've got more than 5 Monitors running at once, like NASA's Mission Control or, even, one of those Social Media content creators , which I actually don't and can't due to my limited budget.
