Hi there,

I got a new widescreen lcd now and would like to avoid that scaling from 4:3
to 16:10 when playing games that don't support widescreen. I know there is
an option in the NVidia control panel that let's me choose between several
scaling options. But no matter which one I choose, it's always stretched to
fit the screen when playing DirectX games. Well, I tested only Battlefield
2, but I assume it will be the same with other games too.

So can anyone confirm this problem and maybe tell me if it's a problem with
the driver (NForce 100.64), or does disabling the scaling work for you?

Best regards,

Arne

Have you also checked your LCD users manual to see if it has the option to
not stretch the video when receiving 4:3 aspect ratio video?
