Black sides on screen appear again

Hey guys, when i first got my comp. when i played MS, black sides appeared when i played, i found out how to get rid of it. But now i want it back again because my friend showed it to me and i realized it looks better than fullscreen. Can anyone help on how to get it back to the black sides? i have windows 7. and PLZ dont say alt+ enter. because i know thats not it.

Did you change your screen resolution to something non-native beforehand? It won't be grayed out if you're doing this in a different resolution.

Also, I found the download link http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=312794 if all else fails.

AMD? You have to change it in the graphics card settings, and select maintain aspect ratio. It only lets you do this after you change screen resolution to something not native. If it still doesn't work then there's a program that someone created that forces maintain aspect ratio. I used it once and my maple plays with the bars anytime now. I forgot what it was called though.

Op catalyst control center -> my digital monitors -> options screensize. There should be a bar you can adjust. from underscan to overscan

go to your graphics card setting and under when playing fullscreen games or something uncheck stretch to full screen.

I have a nvidia chip so I don't know how it looks like in AMD but I assume its almost the same

What's your GPU? Also, I like how you use good punctuation but don't spell "please" correctly.
