Computer specs? Make? Model? Video Card Model? Audio Card Model? Monitor
model?

There's a setting in nVidia cards that makes it so if you are running a
game in a resolution lower than what your LCD supports it won't zoom the
image to fill the screen.

If you're on nVidia, look for the nVidia control panel, there should be a
setting in there for zooming in when displaying lower resolution images.

That's a guess, without your hardware info i'm not sure whats going on
exactly.
