Within the game you are playing, do you have the option to choose a higher resolution?

 

[shansrockin]

yes i do !! but whatever changes i make it only comes to the centre of the screen ... there are 2 black bars in the sides .....(ie i am not able to play in widescreen format)

Look in the game for widescreen options. I know steam keeps their 5:4, 16:10 and 16:9 option separate.
