how to get rid of black bars while gaming on a laptop?

[chupababa]

hi, i have a Gigabyte p2542g-cf2 laptop with a 1080p native resolution. I purchased Red Faction Guerrilla and i want to run it at 1600x900 resolution, when i change the resolution in-game to 1600x900 i get black bars on the top and bottom.
i have researched this problem extensively and people say to go into nvidia control panel under the display tab, but this being a laptop i dont have that option. What do i do to force RFG to stretch the resolution to fullscreen while being at 1600x900?

also, i dont experience this problem with any other games i have that i play at 1600x900.

specs:
intel i7 3630qm
gtx 660m
8gb ddr3
1080p lcd
windows 8

Hi,

This means the laptop doesn't support the resolution well an you can't so anything about it.
Read the specs of your laptop for the native resolution.

I'm not sure what you mean about no nvidia control panel, I just want to the main control panel and searched nvidia and found it right away (on my laptop).

i have the nvidia control panel but i dont have the "display" drop down menu because this is a laptop. I just need a way to stretch the resolution of 1600x900 in RFG.
The display option in the control panel would solve this problem but mobile graphics cards dont have that option
