It's all about aspect ratio. Aside from windowed mode the game will always fill the full screen but it'l usally be stretched one way or the other. SH3 is displayed in 4:3 so on our (I have the same res.) 1680 x 1050 (16:10) screens it is stretched a fair bit horizontally making anything cirular apear oval, such as the perescope aperture and your dials etc, it also mucks up the mouse movement.

Don't you notice this? It bugs the hell outa me!

These days I usualy run in windowed mode which runs in its original res of 1024 x 768 (4:3) and looks fine.

I'm also runing vista so look forward to seeing what comes out of this thread.
