Okay, so...

I have an nVidia 8500 graphics card and a 21" widescreen monitor. When I play some games, they get all stretched because of the widescreen monior. Is there anyway I can get bars on the sides of my screen so it doesn't look all stretched? I have Vista if it matters.

Thanks in advance.

My System

Re: Okay, so...

Right-click the nvidia icon in the systray and open the nvidia control panel. Go to Display > 'Change flat panel scaling' on the left and experiment with the 4 options. The second one, 'Use nvidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio', is probably the one you want. It fills as much of the screen as possible without stretching.
