Bioshock problem.

Just swapped a BFG 7950gt oc out for an MSI 9600gt oc. All games work fine except for Bioshock. Can't get it to go widescreen on my Viewsonic va2235wm? When up...it takes up only 2/3 of the Vista HP desktop with toolbar and side menu still active. I've checked around and can't find the solution to this exact issue. Bioshock was fine with the 7950gt? Thanks.

I asked about Steam because that's were most of the reports of wide screen problems have come from ( they patched the game and it did help.)
