    Hi look at this image ..

    http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8901/cssd.jpg



    You see i have 2 black sides...
    I installed Windows 7 , 64-bit drivers correctly.
    Resolution is 1280*1024 (on game)
    4:3
    Full screen.

    I have the problem with the black sides with all steam games.
    Got latest drivers for mainbord and graphics card so..
    I have tried to turn off SLI and try then but that doesnt work

    My setup :

    Intel core 2 duo e8400 @3.6GHz
    Evga 750i SLI
    9600GT SLI
    OCZ 4Gb RAM@1066MHz
    Windows 7 64 bit ultimate
    Samsung spinpoint 500gb
    +Good cooling

    I had vista and there worked everything good but on windows 7 not.

    Found a fix if you using Nvidia,Go to Nvidia Control Panel and under Adjust Desktop Size and Position select Use Nvidia Scaling.

    ^^ Agreed. This is a scaling issue. Either run with a 16:9 aspect or enable scaling. That system should be able to run 1280 @ 16:9 without any problems.

If I have both my monitors enabled and try to start a game such as CS:S or TF2, it puts it into an infinite loading screen and I can never get to the main menu. The only way to fix this is to play in windowed mode or disable the second monitor. Has any body heard of a fix for this?
