No, you must do this through your graphics card driver or through your monitor driver. Explore these two end you will probably find an adjustment for 4/3 display. Of course it is likely that neither of them has such an option so...you will have to live with that!

Tell us what brand and type of monitor and graphicscard you have. Then we may be able to direct you where to look for it.

I couldn't fid a manual for your monitor (Dell messed up their site) but I did find a manual on how to change the settings for your graphicscard:

I have a nvidia card too (though it's a 9600M GT), but you must be able to find the same option to change. Right-click on the deskop and choose 'nvidia configuration screen'. Then in the tree on the left side I chose the second line under the second branch 'Display'. But it may be different as you have a different card/driver. You should be looking for something named: 'NVIDIA-scaling with fixed aspect-ratio'. Don't bother with setting the resolution to 1024x768 or something. The driver takes care of the size, just leave it to max or default settings.

Thank you very much for the help , can you tell me plase if this process to change is complicated because I usually play also the SH4 and I think if I adjust the screen to play SH3 later may be I need to adjust back all again to play SH4 ,but if this process is quick there is no problem , can you tell me please your opinion ? , thank you


I think this is the page

Hi There,
I use 1440 x900 on my wide screen monitor combined with Rubinis fix and I'm happy with the result. True, in 2D in chart screen it is a bit wide but I can live with that. In SH4 it looks pretty good too.
