    I was playing GTA san andreas on my PC and when I open it, it makes me screen into a square (When I have widescreen) and has two black boarders on either side.

    How do I get rid of this when playing games? It does the same with MX Vs ATV too :(

    Anyone know how to fix it?

    Thanks.

    I'm quite sure that the newest patch for GTA san andreas now gives options for wide screen. Maybe you just need to update the version.

    What I would like to know is how to actually have the side black borders for a couple of games I play like COD WaW.
