Window 7: window ratio

Dec 17, 2009 5:16AM PST

back when i was using wondow 7 RC, if i play a game with 1024-768 in full screen, it will automatically disable wide screen mode. and swich back to 1360-768 when i quit the game. but now i installed window 7, it doesnt do that anymore.(i upgraded from vista) it just strech to fit. is there anyway to make it do what it did in window 7 RC?

I see interesting options in the Compatibility Tab when I right click, properties on an .EXE. I'm no expert but I see something to try there.

Tell us which you tried.
