Well here is a less confusing timeline:
- I had a WinXP machine with this 1920x1200 monitor. ---- No problems, IL2 picture filled my monitor, I also had HSFX installed though. I also had more resolution options in the game, where I could choose a width of 1920 and a height greater than 1200, and it would allow me to scroll up and down on the menus. (BTW, never had a problem with filling the screen before HSFX either).
- Next my XP machine died. Had a new computer built using Win7. The monitor used while it was being built and set up, and that I used to first play IL2 4.10.1m on this new computer was a wide screen HD monitor it had a wider screen proportion wise than my wide screen at home. I also hooked up a secondary square shaped monitor.
- Got everything installed and working correctly there, Il2 4.10.1m played fine and filled the screen.
- I brought it home and plugged in my higher widescreen and my secondary square shaped monitor.
-Turned on IL1 4.10.1m and I now had the black bars and the square picture, and the largest resolution option in game is the 1600x1200 .
:roll:
EDIT:
This is some weird Voodoo stuff...
I just copied my Ubisoft folder that is in my program files x86 folder to regular program files, and a problem I was having other than this one, (sound seems to be super quiet in game), and now my sound in game is working. I wasn't going to tackle this one until i fixed the other. Though now I can't connect to an online server, and my internet works..... MAN!
Get your shotguns out boys and stick with 'em 'till the bitter, bloody, end... of Windows XP!!!
