its really annoying i cant get rid of the black screen on the left and right sides and its not anything to do with the resolution because that is at full when i try to check the settings and right click on computer then properties it still says toshiba which is the old system it is from.
 
Its because Windows 7 OEM which was licensed for use on the Toshiba PC can't be used on anyother PC(the OS is bound to the mobo and components and wont boot if serial checking of component fails) its againts MSFT & TOSHIBA ToS and your genuine serial key can be blacklisted.
