It seems like you're facing an issue with a game not running in full widescreen mode on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, displaying two black lines on the sides of your monitor. Let's explore some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) to download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card.
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • Right-click on the game executable or shortcut, go to Properties, and navigate to the Compatibility tab.
   • Try running the game in compatibility mode for Windows Vista or an earlier version that the game was designed for.
   []Changing Resolution:
   • Adjust the game's resolution settings to match your monitor's native resolution.
   • Launch the game and look for options related to display or resolution settings within the game itself.
   []Check Game Settings:
   • Some games have specific settings for display modes. Look for options to enable fullscreen mode or adjust the aspect ratio in the game's settings.
   []DirectX Version:
   • Ensure that DirectX is up to date. You can download the latest version of DirectX from the Microsoft website.
   []Run as Administrator:
   • Try running the game as an administrator. Right-click on the game executable and select "Run as administrator."
   []Disable Display Scaling:
   • Right-click on the game executable, go to Properties, and under the Compatibility tab, check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings."
2. Virtual Machine Setting:
   • In some cases, the issue might be related to the virtual machine settings. Check if the game is running in compatibility mode inside a virtual machine.

     Additional Tips:​
