Older PC Games on Widescreen laptop - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-man08 · 07-01-2010, 07:37 PM

I've got several PC games with a native aspect ratio of 4:3. I'd like to paly them on my HP laptop, but when I do the video is stretched to fill the widescreen monitor. Is there a way to adjust the video settings so that the game will display in its native 4:3? I'm running Windows Vista. Not sure what my video card is.

Thanx in advance.

Change the resolution of the monitor to a 4:3 format, like 1024 x 768. Go play your game, and then change it back when you're done. Otherwise, there should be some "preserve aspect ratio" settings in the control panel or you should be able to select it in the game GUI.
