Question about SH3 in widescreen

[conus00]

I know that this has been asked about million times but even after running search I cannot find answer to my question.
Santa brought me (with a lil' financial help from me ) 32" Sony Bravia XBR9 I will be using as my computer monitor. You should see CoD:MW2 on this thing! Wow, feels like being there...
Anyway back on the subject
How do I set up SH3 to run in 4:3 aspect on widescreen monitor?
I am using the WinXP resolution Mod but here is the problem: SH3 crashes when the resolution setting in the d3d9.cfg is different to your desktop resolution. I cannot even use nVidia Control Panel because all scaling options are greyed out.

My desktop options are:
1920x1080
1680x1050
1600x900
1440x900
1360x768
1280x1024
1280x960
1280x800
1280x768
1280x720
1152x864
1024x768
960x600
800x600

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM
WinXP Professional SP3
nVidia GT9600 XXX

I know about Rubini's great Widescreen MOD but I really don't like stretched images...

Can anybody help me how to run SH3 in 4:3?
