then you need to set the game options to 16:9/16:10 to banish the bars on the side, set the resolution to a wide screen size, as 800X600 is a 4:3 size.

Then change the resolution to the native of the monitor, stop running at 800X600!!! games must look like lego blocks...

it's for high level gaming it increases size everyone plays on it, the only way i can play 800x600 in fullscreen is when i turn my monitor reso to 800x600 in cp

Im sorry but you seem to have 800X600 and the words "high level gaming" in the same sentence?

Are you saying you cant select anything higher in the Nvidia control panel than 800X600? if so you need to re detect your 23" wide screen monitor so all of the resolutions it is capable of are available for you to use.
