The thing is I installed Win7, then installed all the common apps that I usually use everyday (NetBeans, MSN, mIRC, Firefox) and drivers. I decided to install a game, runs, perfect, but the problems is with the resolution, i play it with 800x600, te problem is it won't stay in fullscreen, it just stays with the normal resolution (1360x768) and in the middle, an 800x600 square resolution with the game.. but not in full screen mode, everything that it's not filled, is in black.

I've tried to change the resolution to 800x600 before playing, but it won't fit in fullscreen mode, just an 800x600 square.

Then I've decided to uninstall drivers and install them again, when i uninstalled them, the resolution went to 800x600 (fullscreen), but when i re-installed, again same problem.

Graphic card: nVidia GEFORCE 9500GT

I really have no clue how to solve this. If you need more info, just ask, i'll be happy to give it to you, thanks in advance

i had that problem too with cs but fixed now.

you can fix that in nvidia control panel > adjust desktop size > use nvidia scaling.

it is related to screen scaling.

hope that helps.

What driver version are you using? Because I can't find that option in my actual drivers. I'm using latest version, which is: 191.07 WHQL

I know those are the latests drivers, but the other guy solved his problem changing a config in the nvidia cpanel, i don't have the options he has. So i was wondering what driver version was he using, so I install it here.

LG FLATRON W1941S 19", why? I don't think it's my monitor's problem, because with Vista everything worked fine.

i know c.s can fix already , go option , video , display mode , set as widescreen , if still have a bit black side bar , go resolution to set it .

I know, first thing I did was play with widescreen mode, but I don't like it (everything is so different), that's why i want to fix this :/

There are posts in the Games forum that counter Strike - Source does not work properly

You can look over this link also:

you can play with scaling , i guess every monitor will have different scaling maybe.
also When u try and select "Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed-aspect ratio" and click apply, it doesn't stick. It reverts back to "Use my display's built in scaling" but in really it does change. i think its a bug in that panel or windows 7.
