Actually this is the main problem that will face by many Window 7 users as comes to gaming time. You may find the situation where all the game that you play will have two black side bar on the right and left of the screen when the game start. This is petty annoying when the gaming screen is squeezed into small size. I had faced this problem in last year when the first I installed window7 ultimate 7600 RTM. That time, I had went through many webs that I had Google for a solution for it. There are solution out there but mostly is for the ATI Radeon graphic card and not Nvidia or else for Dota they will advice your to change the resolution through the regedit. So what you need to do is go this link http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us or this http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us to get a suitable and updated driver for your graphic card (Nvidia). Followed by, install the driver after the download is finish and reboot your com. After the reboot, right click on your desktop and choose Nvidia CP, select 'change flat panel scaling' and choose 'use my display's built-in-scaling' and now the resolution prob is solved. If not working try this web - http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=153943. So if there is any other solution can be share, leave a comment.
