Windows 7 and CSS

[SneakySnake]

I seem to have a problem with CSS on Windows 7. The game runs fine and all, itsj ust it cuts off about an inch on each side. It squeezes my game in. I tried to take a screenshot, but it just shows as normal in a screenshot, as if the black bars on the sides aren;t supposed to show up.

 

Its sorta like this.

 

Here is your monitor (pretend the game is onscreen):

______

| |

|_____|

 

Here is mine:

___

|| ||

||___||

 

EDIT:^It squishes in, so just imagine the top bar(s) on the right right above the bottom ones.

 

I'll try to take a photo with my phone.

No idea then

does your monitor have auto adjust? Mine often just stretches things out when i lower the resolution in tf2 so i can get better fps. Try using your monitor auto adjust or call Microsoft.

set the res to what you want it to, and restart the game. if its at the res you want, THEN put it to window and maybe thatll work. also, do you have it set to 4:3 or 16:9 or 16:10? if you have it set to 4:3 but then in a window on a widescreen monitor, it may letterbox on its own.

I play on a 19" widescreen monitor, I use 1024(I think)xThe Other number that I can't remember.

 

I have never had this problem before. I play in fullscreen. I will see what happens when I change x:x. I'm at home all day today so I can answer any questions.

 

I will ss my video settings later.

Hmm, see what resolution you use while not in-game (Im guessing 1024X768? Thats mine) and use that for CSS.

My desktop resolution:

 

 

My CSS settings (default):

 

I put it in a windows so I could SS it...

 

 

If i change 4:3 to 16:9, it cuts the top and bottom off, and if I change it to 16:10, its zoomed in ALOT. 16:9 only has 1 resolution setting, and 16:10 has 3, but none help.

Sneaky: I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I found a fix for it. You just need to add something to the command line in the properties for CS.

 

I'll look when I get home. PM me if I don't get back to you, I just go into work and might forget.
