   It sounds like you have to tweak the picture width on the monitor   
   itself. The settings are seperate for each resolution and refresh   
   frequency and on some monitors it may be impossible to set them, but   
   this is solely due to the monitor.   
      
   If all else fails and you really do want to make it work diffirently,   
   you might want to give it a try to change the monitor refresh frequency   
   or the game resolution somehow. Please note that the resolution setting   
   in windows may have nothing to do with the resolution setting in your game.   
      
   Good luck.
