    That's because the game is playing in regular ratio, but your notebook is widescreen..... so the notebook will pull it wider.... You may be able to change the game to widescreen.... or maybe even go in the intel graphics settings and change something (but I don't think so).

    Right... I understand that.. it's one reason widescreens are not great for everything and most gamers still prefer regular ratio... there are some settings for the ATI cards that'll fix that, but I don't know if you can on the models with the integrated intel solution.. I'll have to look around.

    You can go to Graphics properties, go to display settings, choose"Maintain aspect ratio" under Display expansion. You should able to play the game in regular ratio rather than widescreen.

    thanks guys. to the people who want clarification

    on the Asus W5.

    right click on desktop,

    Gfx options >> Panel Fit >> Maintain Aspect Ratio

    and just a note: I'm playing nba on High Player settings and low everything else on the highest resolution and its NOT laggy or blurry or slow. its actually quite good. i'm impressed!
