For the past few years, I could never get the Nvidia drivers to keep the aspect ratio, but with the newest ones I'm back in business.

I have a 22" widescreen monitor and the normal 4:3 ratio stuck games would always stretch making things fat & flat. No more! Now the aspect ratio settings in my Nvidia Control Panel actually work for once when placing black bars on the side of the game. Finally, I can play a non-stretched Hornet Leader, amongst others.

Good to know. I'll have to check that with my laptop. Be nice to play a game or two on the road at times.

Just know that my monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050. So the 1280x1024 resolution of HL easily fits into it when not stretched. I don't see too many notebooks that use such a high resolution, though. This probably won't fix not having enough vertical screen space - just stops the nasty horizontal stretch on widescreen.
