It would be useful to know what your computer resolution is vs the in-game resolution (set in the Options screen).

Be sure to shut the game down before changing the settings - the game won't detect the resolution change if you just minimize the game by Alt-Tabbing out of it - it appears that it reads the resolution when it starts up.

That would probably allow us to guess what the problem is.

If you're pretty sure you have things set up correctly, you can also try pressing Alt and Enter at the same
