Full screen issues? Dont want it stretched

Edit: Problem solved!

I finally fixed it! Thanks to you all who were willing to help!

What I did was to play around with the settings (you guys encouraged me to), however, I didn't use "no scalling", I used the "keep the scaling rate" and "execute scaling on: GPU" (it was "video" previously). [url=http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1888/mspgn3.png]Here is a screen-shot of of the settings that solved it for me.[/url] Again, it's not English but you can have an idea.

You guys rock. Problem solved!

Old OP: Hello everyone, since the time I have re-installed my Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit), I am having issues with Maplestory and its fullscreen mode. I have a monitor which its native resolution is 1920 x 1080, however when I try to run MS in fullscreen, the game graphics will be stretched out to fit the whole monitor, I dislike that. Before, I if I tried this, I would have black bars on both sides to keep the aspect ratio without stretching it, now I can't anymore.

I updated my graphics card too, but I can't seem to solve it. Help please? My graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 and I have absolutely no idea what to do.

Hello guys, thanks for the replies so far. I have tried changing that what @TziTziMiMe: said. However, it didn't fix my issue and didn't add the side bars as the description in the menu says. [url=http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4531/mspng2.png]Does it look like this?[/url] Sorry for the idiom, it's Portuguese (BR) but it is displaying essentially what you guys told me to do. I marked "Sem escala" which means "no scalling".

Do I need to restart my computer after I change its settings? For now I'll check out that setup in the MS folder and see what happens.

You should try to fiddle around with the settings in your Nvidia Control Panel and the settings inside the setup exe inside the MS folder, and see if those do the trick for you. I believe what TziTziMiMe said would do it for you, so give it a shot.
The intel integrated graphics has nothing to do with your processor, it's part of the mother board. If it's a custom built PC, check for your mother board's model (which if custom built you should know it) and manufacturer online and look for integrated graphics. If it's stock built as in HP/Compaq/etc, check for a VGA input on the back of the tower. If you really wanna use the integrated graphics you'll have to plug in your computer to the monitor through that VGA input. However, doing this will kill your performance for any other games. The GTX 460 has enough potential for many other games that your integrated graphics wont ever be capable of. The amount of memory output from it is by far superior to that of the integrated graphics almost any mother board may posses, so you'd be sacrificing a lot of performance for the maple bars. This would also show a major change in bossing and crowded channels, even if Maple is majorly CPU intensive. Some mother boards don't include integrated graphics, such as the Asus P6T6 WS Revolution, so you gotta be prepared for this. I personally would just move around the settings and try what the poster above me said. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies everyone. How do I use Intel Integrated Graphics? When I right click my Desktop it shows up a NVIDIA panel control instead. As I stated, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460.

I do however have an Intel Core i5 650 (3.20 GHz 3.20 GHz ) as my processor, does it support this Intel Integrated Graphics? How do I check it? Sorry, I am a computer noob. o.o

I have tried changing the settings of my Graphics Card but it doesn't have an option telling me if I want to keep the aspect ratio of the games on full screen mode or not.

I have a widescreen 24 inches STI which its native resolution is 1920x1080, I don't think it's a monitor problem, though.

Edit:

@snowboy8: I tried it, it looks too small. [url=http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1027/mspng.png]There's too much empty space.[/url] Before I re-installed my Windows 7 Ultimate, full screen mode would fit the whole screen, but keeping the true aspect ratio 1:1 with the convenient side bars. Now it's a mess, it looks way too much stretched and I cannot play it that way without getting eye-cancer.

cant you toggle the resolution in the game system options?

the other way you could fix this issue like @above, is that there is a setting for size to fit or original size for intel integrated graphics.
