Is there a way to take a widescreen notebook and go back to a more standard resolution without a stretched look on the screen? I realize this would leave some of the screen unused, but it would appear the SFC does not support widescreen resolutions very well.

Run in 1280x1024... I run on a widescreen LCD and it doesnt look very stretched.

The max my screen will go to is 1440x900

My labtop hasa setting to stretch the image to fill the screen or not. Say I wanted to set the res to 800x600. If that checkbox it checked, the screen doesn't look all blurry like a lower resolution would look on an LCD screen, it just a little window in the middle of the screen that's just as clear as it would be at 1024x768. But I think you'll have to have a Trident video card in your laptop for that, I'm not sure if other makers will feature that.

ATI cards do it automatically... at least my dads ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility does.
