    Games are running windowed.


    Alright, almost all games are running in an weird windowed mode...
    I set it to 1600x900 (My main resolution), full screen, and it runs it like in the image provided below.



    It is supposed to stretch over to the black sides.
    When I was running Vista it was just full screen like it was supposed to be, without any black sides.

    I have updated all my graphic drivers etc.

    Right click on the shortcut or menu item you use to start the game.

    Now, click on properties

    Note the item labeled Run that's set to "Normal Window". Change that to "Maximized".

    Hit OK.

    Does this change anything?

    Problem is, the shortcut opens a launcher, where you login to the game.
    Then you click ''Start'' from there..

    Hmm, tricky one I can't really test out full resolution mode on my computer as it would probably burn out my integrated graphics unit
    Does the running as maximised work on any other game?

    All other games are running the same way.

    Even if I do Full screen maximized.

    on my nvidia graphics card there is an option to allow stretching in the graphics control panel, does your ati control panel offer a similar solution?

    Unfortunately, this is all I can change..

    So it would be impossible for me to download a nVidia driver and do this?
