Okay, I like to play games at about 800x600 (which is all my laptop can handle) which is a 1.33 ratio resolution.

Now my LCD is a 1280x1024 panel which is a 1.25 ratio resolution.

Now I can "stretch" the games to fill the panel, but since 800x600 is a different ratio, it distorts the game a little bit...

Does anyone know a way to have it fill the screen while maintaining the correct aspect ratio? I know this would result in small black bars and the top and bottom, but that's fine!

My Laptop is a Dell 8600, with a 128 9600Pro Video Card.

I've look in display properties, and it has the option to "scale" the image up, but not while maintaining the ratio.

My Laptop Panel has the option to "scale while maintaining ratio", but the flat panel does not.

Using Omega 4.3's, and normal caty's dont have the option either.

Ideas?

Anyone?

Thanks!!
