Windowed mode borderless doesn't fill screen

So for the longest time I had been running TF2 in windowed mode with no border. I like it better for alt tabbing out to check lobby status and such. But for some reason, lately it doesn't fill my whole screen. There is a small bar on the right side where I can see whatever window I have open under TF2.

I have tried different resolutions, but even at my native resolution it still has this bar. My hud is fully updated. Here is a screenshot of my problem. http://i972.photobucket.com/albums/ae203/polar568/tf2_windowed_bug.png [fixed link]

The white bar on the right side is where I can see my other windows through.
Any help would be appreciated.

screenshot doesn't work for me

Go to your tf2 launch options and see if there resolution is correct there if not put the correct one in there

EXAMPLE: -w 1600 -h 900

Is the resolution set to what your monitor is?

I am not on a mac and the resolution is set in my launch options to the resolution of my monitor. I am using rayshud as well if that makes any difference.

have you tried using your monitors OSD auto-adjust? I'm talking about the buttons underneath/on the side of your monitor. Find the menu button and look around for "auto adjustment" or something similar.

I am on a laptop so there are no buttons on the monitor. Do you know if you there is another way to access that menu?

on a laptop the menu buttons would likely be above the keyboard/in front of the screen

The resolution is correct in full screen mode, everything works fine then. I am using -sw and -noborder. As for the monitor buttons I still haven't been able to locate those as they are not physically on my laptop.
