    I am trying to play a game in full screen on my HP dv6z select edition, and I cannot get the black bars on the side of the game screen to go away.
    For those of you who have this laptop, is there a full screen button on the keyboard, or something I need to do with game settings? I have tried changing my screen resolution to 1280x768 instead of the recommended, 1366x768. Then I tried to right-click on my game and go to properties>compatibility and checked run in 640x480 screen resolution, but that didn't work either..any advice?

    Does the game have the option to run at 1366x768?
