Hi, just got 19 inch widescreen, max reso 1440x900, 8ms response time, 16:9 aspect ratio.
When i try to play games that dont support widescreen such as older ones, or just plain stupid ones that dont support it, the max resoluton i can play them at is 1024x768, even when i turn off aspect scaling, it stil stretches the picture to fit my screen. I was just wondering if there is any way to fix this
Thanks for any help

The next highest standard resolution is 1280x1024, so that is higher than the the 900 of your native resolution so that won't work. So really 1024x768 is the highest standard 4:3 resolution your monitor can handle.
