I recenlty purchased a Vista notebook, that has a widescreen display. Most of my older programs run, but naturally, some of the especially old ones, have no resolution setting for widescreen displays, so everything is stretched, and I cannot adjust the ratio.
I have a theory, of getting a hex editor and screwing around with the tags and fudging the display so that when I check the highest resolution, it will display in the one i manually entered in the codes--
Before I risk corrupting something, however, I was wondering if there were a way to get my widescreen monitor to display a smaller, standard ratio (with some black on the sides) in order to make my stretched applications, appear normal?
~Just to clarify, for example what i am thinking, if any of you have a portable DVD player, there is usually a button that will switch the little monitor between display modes, like 16:9/4:3... now of course there is no switch on my laptop, but I was wondering if i could mimic the effect.
