Ok I recently bought a 19" wide screen samsung monitor. I was told it would have no effect on games.
Well after about half hour of screwing with it I finally got BF2 to boot. Its looks ok. I started Red orchesta and it is messed up! it cuts off half the screen! There are no options in the monitor to adjust this.
So basically my question is, is there any programs that will help with this crap. Also is there anyway to fix the horrible color. And do games have to support widescreen in order for them to work?

It depends on your graphics card. Normally there is an option to stretch non-wide screen resolutions to a wide screen resolution, but this causes things to look stretched. If this option is disabled you will see 2 black bars on either side of the screen when running in resolutions that are not wide screen.
Games that don't output at wide screen resolution won't look very good stretched so it would be best to turn off stretching in your video cards setup utility or see if the game has a patch to support wide screen.
For BF2 you can run it wide screen (1920x1200) by adding options to the command line:
+menu 1 +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200
See the source for more info.
