You need to either look in the control panel for your graphics card or see if your monitor is using 1:1 pixel mapping. I recommend using "Preserve Aspect Ratio" so there is no distortion.

If you want us to help you please give us time to look into your request before posting the same questions somewhere else.

Im getting tired of seeing the same things asked two or three times in different places when a searching would be a good place to start.

This is a common problem with nVidia...

If you have a DVI connection you could press Ctrl + Alt + F11 while in-game
to stretch the image...

if you have a VGA connection then...good luck

In your game settings, set them to use any 16:10 ratio as that will match your monitor. Try 1680 x 1050 to start with. If that's too demanding on your system, lower it to the next one with the same ratio. Keep going down choosing 16:10 ratios until fps is acceptable. 1680 x 1050 is your monitor's native resolution.

If you take gaming any bit seriously at all, you need to upgrade that card. It's alright for older games I suppose.

hey thx for help but 8500GT is fine for me i just bought it months ago i live in morocco so earning pocket money is hard for a 15 year old since i bought the card 100$ (i know its overpriced) well gta 4 wont work i guess then..cuz it only work in 1024 i do higher i get 15fps less wich means i play at 10fps wich is not playable at all... it cant be like that there is a fix just help me guys..

I hear ya about the money, no doubt. Unfortunately though, games don't care who the owner of a pc is. They will refuse to run well without the necessary hardware.

GTAIV is a very demanding game.

Go to your device mngr. My computer right click then manage. See if your monitor is listed as PnP if so then find the exact model # and try and find out if their is a driver for it. If their is then you can download it and it will give you the proper resolutions and refresh rates. This may fix the problem. Updating a Monitor Driver Compaq W220q 22 inch LCD Monitor - HP Customer Care (Australia - English) They only list 1 for XP so download it and click on the setup.exe file then properties> check the box run in compatibility mode install driver. If no setup.exe file then install as administrator. Hope this will help. Fabe Select software and drivers Compaq W220q 22 inch LCD Monitor - HP Customer Care (Australia - English)

Ok this is what worked for me (i have an ati card and have windows 7 x64 bit on a laptop):

1St I changed my display resolution to a lower one.

then I went to the Catalyst Control Center. There I went to the Notebook panel properties and i changed the scaling options to full screen.

then I changed i changed my display resolution back to my origianal resolution.
And when I went ingame I had fullscreen again.


Hope this works for you guys!
