Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and find the Change flat panel scaling setting. The screen is shown on post 6 of this thread (it's a few years old, so yours may look different)

If yours is set to Do not scale then try one of the other settings and see if it fixes the problem.
See, the thing is, I dont know where to find my NVIDIA control panel. I right clicked on the desktop and it didnt come up.
What is your operating system?
Windows 7

Do you have "Graphics Options" or "Graphics Properties" when you right-click on the desktop?

If you have "Graphics Options", choose "Graphics Options" -> "Panel Fit" -> "Maintain Aspect Ratio".

"Graphics Properties" will open up a new menu, and you'll have to look for things like "General Settings" and "Scaling". Select "Maintain Aspect Ratio".

"Center Image" will display game at its native resolution in the center of your monitor. Unused bits on the edges will be your black bars.

"Scale full screen" will stretch your game screen to the full edges of both the X and Y. Might be ugly.

"Maintain aspect ration" will stretch the game image UNTIL it hits an x or y limit. So, unless the game supports widescreen, it will likely stretch to the top and bottom of your monitor, and not quite to the horizontal edges.

Is there an icon for "graphics" or "diplsay settings" in your system tray?
Open the screen resolution menu and click on advanced settings. There should be a NVIDIA Control Center tab, but I'm not sure because I have an Ati card. If it isn't there you should at least find it in the system tray (task bar, left of the clock). You probably have to click on the up arrow to find it.
Alternativly you could install the widescreen patch from the mods sticky to set the game to the resolution of your monitor.

None of what you guys are saying is working so I guess Ill install the widescreen mod eventually.
