When using "Use my display's built in scaling" games always use a fixed aspect ratio with black bars on the side. This never happened before upgrading to Windows 7. Any idea on how to fix this? I would like to fill up my entire display.

What scaling type on your display are you using?

I don't know it's a laptop display, I can't change it. Also nvidia won't let my change the scaling, I think it has to do with the driver 186.03

Are you using the driver supplied by your laptops manufacturer or the latest from nvidia?

I've noticed its doing it for my PC too, I think its just the newer nvidia drivers.

Does anyone know the last good driver that play without a fixed aspect ratio? Also is there a way to run Vista drivers on Windows 7? Nvidia wont let me so far.
