I bought Planetscape and Baldur's Gate, and I heard about a Widescreen Mod on the forums from Gibberlings. I was all excited at the thought of playing the games at my laptop's resolution, 1366x768, but when I went to install it, first on BG, It wouldn't work. The screen would be at the resolution I wanted it, but the actual game was up in the left-hand corner and super tiny. I pretty much gave up on BG after an hour of trying to make it work and with nothing online being useful, so I tried it on Planetscape only to find it was even worse! The screen was similar, the game being small, but the game also had lines running through it and had the cursor leave a trail behind it. Not to mention that when I got out of the game by hitting the windows button, a message popped up about the 16 bit color not working, or something to that effect. I have WIndows 8.1, with a 1366x768 monitor and an AMD A10-4600M APU Processor with a Radeon HD Graphics card. Any help is appreciated, especially if it is in simple laymen's terms because I'm rahter tech-illiterate.

After the umpteenth time of trying, the mod has worked, but looks like this (screenshot attached). Is the menu supposed to look like this, and either way, is there a workaround of that? I managed to get it to work on Planetscape too, but there's a blue loading bar at the bottom right that flickers in and out which drove me crazy within the first few minutes. Sorry for all the noob questions, other than Fallout 3 & NV, I'm completely new to modding.

Try Big World Setup. For BG it may be a bit overwhelming, but for PST it's fairly simple. You have to turn UAC off though because it's essentially running multiple installers one after the other. It has a component that can resize the text, which is helpful at 1366x768. Planescape can run beautifully on Win8, but I had format my laptop and now it's giving me gip.
