I have a LCD screen with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I used to be able to play old games that only allowed 4:3 resolutions such as 1024x768, and they worked fine. Recently, I've had an issue where whenever I launched a game in 4:3 resolution, there was massive cutoff that made it virtually unplayable. This isn't specific to any one game. I've also tried setting my desktop resolution to 1024x768, but that gets cut off too. Note that small resolutions such as 640x480 and 800x600 scale fine.
Here are my specs in case you need them.
Windows 7 64-Bit
AMD Athlon II X4 640
Radeon HD 6700
I'm up to date on the latest drivers. I don't mind black bars on the sides or anything, as long as I'm able to play my games.

Did the problem occur after a driver update?

Check the scaling options in your driver. (Unfortunately I don't know where they are in ATI/AMD's driver, but they ought to be somewhere). Your monitor may have scaling options too, but the settings in the driver are more likely to get changed.

If that doesn't help, then you could also try to rollback to a previous driver.

I have AMD Vision Control Panel, which doesn't seem to have an option to change scaling options.
Actually, on a hunch I reset my monitor to factory settings, and it worked. Thanks for the help.
