Hi all,

I recently bought a new computer from Dell, and I have a problem with the 20" monitor that came with it. The monitor itself works like a charm and performs great, my problem involves the resolutions.

In a nutshell, I would like to play CS and CS:S at 800x600, but my monitor's native resolution is 1680x1050, which makes everything super stretched and ugly when I make it go to 800x600. Is there any way to make 800x600 look 'normal'? I've heard of fixed aspect ratio?

Thanks.

Your graphics driver will determine where to look for the adjustment. Normally the adjustment will be in Display Properties>Settings tab>Advanced. Look for a Monitor, or Display tab. Somewhere there you should see different scaling options.

Being new to Vista as well as a REAL graphics card I am kind of lost at this step. I have a 3450, am able to open the Catalyst Control Centre, but then get lost as to what to do. Help!

Like I said, your display driver will determine where to adjust the settings. I don't use the driver you're using and it's possible, not many people here do either. So... you will have to become more self-reliant! Here is a screen shot of a version of Catalyst that might give you a hint of where to look...
