I have a problem currently.

I currently have a 17' WUGXA Laptop Screen.
Everytime I play games such as;

- Warcraft III Reign Of Chaos
- Warcraft III Frozen Throne
- Command & Conquer Generals
- Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hours

my game will be 'stretched'.
My units become 'fatter' then they were.
Are there any solution to prevent me from playing this game in an 'unstretched mode?

Games such as;
- World of Warcraft
- Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper Mode
- Age of Empires III

I have no problem playing in an 'unstretched' mode as I could just play it in a 'window' mode as it is included as one of the option setting. If there is a way to play these games as well in an unstretched mode FULL SCREEN, please let me know.

Do help me to those who know as these has been bothering me for about a month now . Thanks in advance

I've already used the 'search' buttons~
But all I have found is that the fact that they say that Nvidia Geforce7800 GTX supports 1:1 gaming without stretching without telling me how to play games in an unstretched mode. For those who found a better link, please direct me to it or for those who know how, could you please help me?

Question: why do you post the same question twice in two different sections?

Well, if you read the last post I made regarding the same topic, the moderator or whoever's in-charge told me that I posted in the wrong topic -_-.

So here I am again anyways reposting my topic so that someone that knew the answer could help me. In any case, could anyone help me down here?

Well, I don't really see it :(
Doesn't matter, it'll be deleted off anyways if it's a hinder ^_^.

I've read about the 'How To: Game With Black Bars (non-widescreen)?'
Doesn't really help much :(

Anyone with info could help me in this?

Warcraft III stretches - it's unavoidable, as it doesn't have any method of controlling the FOV. Generals, however, shouldn't - as long as you have the correct res in use... :?

Making another topic wasn't really necessary, as we didn't lock down or delete your previous one - just moved it to the correct location. We do that so that things are in the correct places - it saves confusion all round. ;)
