    Windows 7 RC x32 Widescreen Resolution Problem


    The other day i installed Windows 7 RC x32 on my laptop with a 1680 x 1050 HD LCD Screen, off course it's widescreen. Now hen i run any 4:3 resolution, such as 1024 x 768 the image doesen't fit the hole screen, leaving one bar at each side.

    This only happens hen i'm running Windows 7, i have another partition with Windows XP, and hen i run a 4:3 its goes full screen without the bars.

    Alsow i didn't had my Nvidia drivers installed on that partition, i hazen't on my home so i didn't had internet, and i didn't had the drivers neigther.

    I deleted that partition with WIndows 7 alredy, i would change from XP to 7 but i would need to format, and i wanted to keep my data. Alsow installing all my games (about 90 gb) on another partition with Windows 7 would be ridiculus.

    I would change from xp to 7 if anyone can tell me a fix to this please.

    The only way I have been able to get this to work is with reaaally, really old nVidia drivers, i.e. 169.25_forceware_winvista_32bit_english_whql.exe. Sucks!

    Change the flat panel scaling.

Some time ago, I purchased a Sharp XR-32X DLP with nativ resolution 1024x768. I also built my own screen but decided to make it in 16:9 format, since most movies are in this standard. Now to the problem: Is there a way to limit the desktop to 16:9? I don't want to change the resolution to...
