How do i Adjust the aspect Ratio in windows 7 ?

[Cliotoby]

Cant believe im asking this, i use a nvidia graphics card so i have the control pannel available too, but i cant seem to adjust the aspect ratio. How do i do it whilst keeping the native resolution ?

eh ?
i dont really get you ?
the display is only one aspect ratio 16:9 tv 16:10pc what you trying to acheive

The native resolution is the aspect ratio. Usually 16:10.

1440x900
1680x1050
1920x1200*
2560x1600

*1920x1080 is becoming available, and is a 16:9 aspect.

Running the average PC LCD off-native will look s**t.

Im running 1680x1050, but the picture is slightly squashed with me having a "wide screen" monitor. I was hoping to adjust the ratio (if possible) so it wasnt so squashed. EG. A circle looks like a god damm oval.

1680x1050 is a 16:10 ratio so if thats your displays native resolution the circle should be a circle

What are you using as a 'circle'? If it's a scope, in an older game, for example, it may well be that the game was never designed to render in widescreen resolutions. That's all I can think of.
