Jeston Veteran Posted April 22, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 22, 2009 Really? I would really appreciate that a lot.. So, in that screen, if you click on "Digital Panel (DVI) 4" there is no section for "Image Scaling"?

For some reason, on Windows 7 I don't have that option. However, on Windows Vista, I do.

They will fix the problem and send you an updated driver. Unless you may get unofficial modded driver from that guy above. Otherwise you may use one of the 2 plans that I posted earlier. If I were you, I'd get a new video card and get rid of that old outdated card. Good luck.

Guest neo7 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ATi's latest driver readme mentions this as a bug in the driver. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/762180-windows-7-black-area-around-monitor/page/2/#findComment-590886902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted April 22, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 22, 2009 For some reason, on Windows 7 I don't have that option. However, on Windows Vista, I do. Hmm, I guess it is a driver problem then. I forgot I was on Vista and not 7 at the moment. My Windows 7 machine has a 2900PRO connected only via VGA so I can't really check it out for you. Maybe the modded driver will work.

TAZMINATOR Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 ATi's latest driver readme mentions this as a bug in the driver. His card is outdated. Because I have been to ATI website and find win7 based driver and ended up getting a "No results returned".. Best solution is get a new card. Otherwise if he can wait, then he wait for a updated driver for his current card.

freeza Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks everyone. If I can get a hold of a modded driver i'll try that, otherwise i'll just wait until Windows 7 goes RTM and get one then.

PrEzi Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 freeza : I'll PM you shortly. Mod is in the works. Couldn't find what version you're running 7077 x86 or x64 so I'll mod the 9.4 Win7 x86 first.

Gally Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Looks to me like monitor settings, if you go into the settings see if you can change the settings between 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, original, stretch. thats the way it is on mine anyway Edit: get a vga cable Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/762180-windows-7-black-area-around-monitor/page/2/#findComment-590887996 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mzcbr Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I found a solution for NVIDIA users 1. Install the lastest NVIDIA driver. 2. Enter in NVIDIA Control Panel, choose advance settings. 3. Go to Display -> Manage Custom Resolutions 4. Click Create... button 5. Fill your desired resolutions settings and GDI Refresh Rate.. (60, 75..) and click Advanced... 6. In Timing standard, select one of the options available (GTF, DMT, CVT...) continue testing those options until you get no black borders. I got here: 1280x800, 75Hz, CVT, no black borders with native 1440x900 LCD monitor.
