| | Black border screen when playing game in Win7 Hi there.  When I play games there are two black borders to the left and right of my screen. This only happens on Windows7 as I have recently upgraded from Vista and I didn't have the problem then. The borders don't bother me to much, but I'm curious if it will always be like this? Or is it possible to change? Tried updating the driver. still no go. Laptop Model: compaq presario cq40-416AU ATI Radeon 3200 graphics AMD Turion (tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 |

| | are you running the games in the laptops native resolution? To me it sounds like you are running the games in a 4:3 resolution and not a 16:10 or 16:9 resolution. |

| | What are the games you are playing? Did you change the resolution in the game? that is the one you need to change to match the resolution of your monitor. |
