Can't seem to find the solution to this problem. I Have: Viewsonic VX2025WM widescreen lcd moniter with DVI connection evega 7800gtx 256mb with Forceware version 93.71 I would like to run warcraft 3 in 4:3 non-streched I have tried 'Centered Output' and 'Fixed aspect ratio scaling'. Both settings giving me the false result (streched wc3 screen). Is there any tweak or mod i can use to run the game with two black bars on the side? |

Are you by any chance attempting to use a widescreen resolution? If so, don't. Just use 1024x768 or whatever 4:3 res is the closest to your native res, and keep the "fixed aspect ratio" settings. |

The wc3 rez is at 1280 x 1024. I switch to 'Fixed aspect ratio scaling' and put the res to 1024 x 768 but still it gives me streched. what do u mean by widescreen resolution? |

The wc3 rez is at 1280 x 1024. He means a resoulution such as 1680*1050 a 16:10 ratio which is wider than a 4:3 ratio He is trying to say to hit fixed aspect ratio and use 1280 x 1024 becuase it is close to your native resolution also try http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Powerstrip_-_Controlled_Variable_Stretch_Technique http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Powerstrip:_Add_Custom_Desktop_Resolution http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nvidia:_Add_Custom_Desktop_Resolution Those might help you run 4:3 ratios |

Sorry im not 100% sure on how to work it.... I know there are some very good people on this site though. If you post something in the software forum such as "I need help with powerstrip" someone hopefully will reply quickly, also check out the irc chat you might be able to get some help there, there is a link at the top of the banner next to the forum button Sorry for not being much of a help....

You shouldn't need Powerstrip for this. The NVIDIA Detonator drivers support this natively. Check this Tutorial as well: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gaming_with_Blackbars_%28Pillarboxing%29 |

I have latest drivers Forceware version 93.71 and i have clicked Fixed aspect ratio on. Now when i run game on 1024 x 768, it gets stretched horribaly to both sides of the screen. With fixed aspect ratio on this shouldn't happen. I read couple of forums that the viewsonic moniters seem to have trobule with this. Any direction? Ive noticed that on my Viewsonic VX2025WM OSD, the "Manual Image Adjustmant" is greyed out and i can't use that option. Could this prob be linked with the moniter? can i open this locked option?????? |

hmm called viewsonic and nvidia about this problem...niether of them have a clue to fix this problem... OSD manual adjustment feutre seems to be only available through VGA and not DVI. IF anyone knows a fix for this moniter Viewsonic VX2025WM regarding "fixed aspect ratio" then im all ears... |
