This issue bugs me so bad! I can do it manually, however I will not be satisfied unless it's perfect (which is doubtful considering I'm doing it manually).
My screen doesn't fit my whole monitor (there are black spaces around it which haven't been filled). I was wondering if there is anyway possible to automatically adjust/fix that issue?
Monitor: Dell M992
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 240
Operating System: Windows 7 x64 Bit
Resolution: 1280x1024
Refresh Rate: 85 Hertz
If you need more information, tell me and I will be more than happy to post it
Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
What's the native resolution of your monitor? – Der Hochstapler – 2012-08-25T23:48:22.187
The native resoulution is '1280x1024' – Donavon Decker – 2012-08-25T23:51:52.627
Have you tried using the monitor's controls (or auto-adjust feature, if it has one) to expand the image so it fills the whole screen? – Indrek – 2012-08-25T23:58:05.290
@Indrek - Yes, I have tried many times, but like I said in my original post, I can never get it right, and I'm not satisfied unless it's perfect, which is why I'm looking for a way to auto adjust it.
There is a driver for the monitor, however it is for Windows XP, and I have Windows 7 so I cannot use it. – Donavon Decker – 2012-08-26T00:01:55.920
You can run that driver in compatibility mode on Windows 7. – avirk – 2012-08-26T02:43:05.073

bizzarely, this is a dupe - I'm wondering if this is just a quirk of that monitor.
– Journeyman Geek – 2012-08-26T07:37:12.240Measure the actual image (what you call the "screen") that you are viewing, and compare that height & width to the Preset Image Size listed for this Dell monitor (about 10.4"H x 13.9"W). Computer CRT monitors are designed to underscan the image (i.e. the displayed image is smaller than the tube face), resulting in a black border. The conservative VESA timings make those borders even bigger. Unless you change the timings, then you can only make the viewable image as big as the front-panel size-control allows (which will prevent the raster from striking the sides of the tube). – sawdust – 2012-08-26T21:16:59.633
