    I had the same problem, had it in Vista too and to fix it I had to create a custom resolution using NVIDIA control panel. I set mine to 1380X768, I set the color at 32 and left scan on progressive. I then clicked on the timing tab and made sure that the standard drop down was set on automatic (I think DMT is what you would manually select but I couldn't remember so left it on auto). leave the rest of the parameters alone and click on test at the bottom.

    After clicking test you will probably see a dialogue box denying responsibility if your monitor dies, dog gets worms or girlfriend ends up pregnant, click on that and if your display is acceptable after the change then confirm that that is what you want, if it didn't work wait the obligatory 15 seconds or so for it to revert to the previous settings but if this happens you can bank on the fact that your dog now has worms and your girlfriend is most likely pregnant.

    Scaling didn't work for me, the custom resolution filled the screen without leaving blank spaces.
