Here's a question to all you computer gurus because Dell support is worthless, especially when you know more about computers than the Tech support...
I have an Inspiron 9100 with a radeon 9700 card. It's a widescreen model, which is great on my desktop but crappy for some apps and especially games. The computer attempts to strech, or squash the pixels so that they fill the 1600 x 1050 screen, instead of maintaing the original apect ratio of the program. A buddy of mine has the exact same computer and his just puts black bars around the game instead of streching the pixels, kinda like watching a full screen broadcast on a widescreen tv... bars on the side. This is what I want it to do.
Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If anyone says delete this system file, or your monitor is bad I'll know your actually a dell phonetechie!!!
