385801 2005-09-03 18:22:00 Whenever i increase my resolution (currently at 1280X1024) I need to adjust my screen using the moniter's option (y'kno stretching and all that) to make it fit my screen properly, but when i go to play a full screen game, part of the screen is always to the side or cut off. Is there a way to change this so i can play full screen games without having part of my screen missing? its very annoying and i dont like haveing 1/10 of my screen being black.

BTW im using an ati radeon 9600xt (128mb)

Properties/settings/advanced/monitor/screen refresh rate . On the desktop

It'll show black on the main screen, if the refresh rate isnt high enough . Well it does on these .

Anything under 85 hz on this, I get the black on both sides / top / bottom of the screen .

Also keep in mind that some monitors can only remember so many settings so if your using heaps of different refresh rates and resolutions this can happen.
