Hi,

I am nearly sure that MM6 ran in pillarbox (two black stripes on the sides of the screen) on my widescreen display. Now it seems to stretch it onto the whole screen, hideously deforming deforming pretty much everything.

Any way to fix it?

Running Win 7 Ultimate.

Do you have an Nvidia or an ATI video card? If so, the software that comes with the drivers should have a setting that will prevent it from stretching. There might be an easier way, but that's just off the top of my head.

If you have an integrated Intel graphics card, it might have some similar settings, but I'd be less optimistic about it.

As gammaleak said, you should be able to set this in your graphics settings. Look for an option like "flat panel scaling" or similar. What you want is to switch scaling on, but use the option labeled "preserve aspect ratio", which will avoid stretching the image.

Some monitors have their own settings for this stuff too, so it might be worth checking those as well.

NOTE: ATI drivers used to have an issue with the scaling setting, but I'm not sure if it's still true... basically, the setting would be greyed out so you can't select it. To fix it, you needed to lower your screen resolution, and then the option would no longer be greyed out. Then select the option you want, and then set the resolution back to normal.
