THX for the help so far mates !

@ RushTheBus

Nope, Sir, i don't use any mods at the moment. With aspect ratio 16:10 you may be right, but i do not know for sure because i have no info about the screen at all. It was a present from a friend and it came with no data whatsoever. Also i am absolutely not familiar what resolutions are meant for 4:3 , 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio.

@ sublynx

Windowed mode? Sounds interesting but i do not know where to find and how to activate this. I found a feature where i can trim the screen manually, but i did not find out yet, how to assign this to the game. All i can do is to activate this for the desktop but this has no influence how the game is displayed. But i read in other threads that people do it this way "by hand". Please tell me what "windowed mode" is and how i can activate it for the display of the game. I don't care if i have to do it manually each single time i play.
As i said, It is not so important to me if the whole screen is used, i am fine with black parts left and right, my main problem are the distortions.
What i need to understand is, what the widescreen mods really do, and what finally defines resolution / aspect ratio. What is a complete mystery to me is how graphic card, the screen and the game are related to each other, which relates to what, and who of them is "the boss of 'em all"!
I tried a hell of things with my settings but i can't really find a point "aspect ratio". And with resolutions i only can find such that don't seem to relate to the resolutions the WS-mods seem to refer to. Also i am absolutely not familiar what resolutions are meant for 4:3 , 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio.


@ all

Sorry for being such a PC-Idiot
