We call it Pillarboxing. You need to set your video drivers and/or your monitor scaling for "Aspect Scaling". Here is an article on it. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/Gaming_with_Blackbars_(Pillarboxing) |

"Cropping" isn't quite the right word. Literally, it means cutting off part of a photograph so it fits a frame better, so for games, it would imply cutting the top and bottom off of the 4:3 frame to make it fit widescreen. Note that in order to pillarbox, you must be using a DVI cable. Otherwise the options won't be available. |
