Check your MONITOR menu. It is probably accessed by a button next to the power button on your monitor. When you are in the settings, check for something called "aspect ratio" or "display setting". You might have options such as WIDE/FULL/ASPECT etc. Change this and see if it helps.

Hi mate, we care but noone has any ideas as to what it could be or what to try.

It's a strange problem.

I would try going through your monitor's menus and restoring any defaults first of all. If that did not fix it, I would be trying a different monitor. If that did not fix it, I would re-install Windows.

As has been mentioned if your getting correct screenshots that almost always means it is a problem with the display setting. Look for a 1:1 setting or the like.

Also be aware that resolutions like 1280x800 and 1280x768 will have black bars on the sides on that display.

Did you make sure to select 1600x900 in the game options? Many games default to lower resolutions.

have you installed the monitor drivers
http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=828

open the nv control panel
try "use nvidia scaling"
then try "use my displays built in scaling" if the above doesnt work



click picture for bigger pic

you were asked to check your monitors settings did you try all 3 settings (try with the 2 different nv settings)
from your monitors manual
