Widescreen and older games
Hello!
I've been having a rather annoying problem recently... I have widescreen (1366x768) on my laptop, and when playing older games that don't exactly support this resolution/screen ratio, (like Baldur's Gate or Crusaders of Might and Magic) it just stretches out on the entire screen, rather then staying in the 4:3 ratio they'd normally be able to show, like before. No idea what caused this, any idea on a fix, perhaps? (my graphics card is an builti-n Intel GMHD)

Intel? Do you have this?
 (click to enlarge) If not you can download it. Choose "maintain aspect ratio".

Not really related to Troubleshooting. Moving to Technical.

Though resolved, might help others. I frequent this site a lot ever since I got my new screen

http://www.widescreengamer.com/wides...ames_database/ Can really be helpfull to run some (older 4/3) games in 16/9 or 16/10 Sometimes a little cfg tweak is enough.

I'll add it to the Troubleshooting FAQ over the weekend, and I'll add another image for ATI. Does anyone have one for nVidia or other card makers?
