I recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster 226BW (22" widescreen monitor). When I first bought it, I had Windows XP installed on my computer. The display/monitor worked fine. It gave me more room in windows and on the desktop. Recently, I installed Vista Ultimate (genuine edition). Instead of giving me more room due to the wider screen, it just strecthes everything out. All pictures are at a new ratio and everything is wider. In XP, for example, I could fit more icons in the same space, while in Vista, it's just stretching out the square version of the OS. I am using the same resolution on both (1620x1050). What's the problem. Why is XP giving me more room (the main reason why I bought a widescreen) while Vista Ultimate just stretches everything out to an unnatural ratio?
