Are you playing in 'windowed' mode?

This is done either using the -ne shortcut properties target line (e.g. "C:\SKN Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -movie_cam -ne) or by the 'Run' box (mine is set to 'Normall Window').

It may look like this:

What resolution have you set the game to and what is the 'native' resolution of your screen?

Its is set at the highest resolution for windows7 but not sure about native res but Empire total war and Medevil Total war work grand and all fit the screen when loaded in.

So, was it set to run in a 'normal window'?
