Game display stretches off of monitor

[lolzorz mcgee]

This happens with multiple games I play.  The game screen stretches off of the right and left sides of my monitor and blocks off necessary buttons or info such as the menu button or my health bar.  I've tried tweaking the resolution on my monitor itself, but that doesn't seem to work.  Going in the display menu with the button on the monitor itself can't shrink the display, only move it.

Change the display ratio.
If you have a 16:10 monitor your game might have gotten set to 16:9 somehow.

Change the display ratio.

Don't know how to change the ratio.  I googled it and didn't find anything.

What game is it that you're having trouble with?

There may be more, but the two I've noticed it with are Might and Magic: Dark Messiah and Mabinogi.

stuff ,then somethings wrong with your general display.
Try going into Control Panel > Adjust Screen Resolution if you haven't already

No dice. :/

Try going to the options menu of the game and see if it changed to widescreen

Do you have buttons on your monitor, Including one labelled "AUTO"?

If so press that and it should fix the aspect ratio, but you might need to press it again when you quit the game you're playing.
