The ultimate aspect dilemma. Playing a fullscreen res only game on a widescreen monitor. Can make any gaming experience roughly worth the excrutiating exrcetion after a spicy burrito. Is there such a program in place to crop the viewing area and keep the ratio sensible?

Damn fullscreen only developers to hell!

DAMN YOU!!!!!!

Install Linux, get Cedega, configure it to run in a window.

Aside from that, I would think most modern games support widescreen resolutions.

You can change your resolution to normal aspect ratio, and have a reverse-letter box thing going on.

There should be an option in your display drivers whether to stretch or maintain aspect ratio. Look around in the ATI or nVidia control panel.

I believe you can adjust it on the "Settings" tab in Display Settings
