174639 2003-09-11 10:58:00 Hi does anyone know why I have big black borders in Halflife and IL2 Sturmovik? They surround the screen along both the horizontal and vertical edges and changing resolution doesn't affect them. Its only happened since I upgraded to Windows XP and other games such as Warcraft 3 and Rise of Nations dont have this problem. mafiamonkey (4431)
174640 2003-09-11 11:04:00 do you run the games at different res to your destop? you may need to adjust your screen to suit the pic at the lower res. also do you have the monitors driver installed? tweak'e (174)
174641 2003-09-11 11:16:00 Yes I do run the games at a different res usually but changing it to the same as the desktop doesn't fix it. As for a monitor driver I can't find one for my particular monitor ( its some obscure Likom model I got in a PC Co. package ). mafiamonkey (4431)

You can check the refresh rate in the monitors OSD.
