I read about some other fix that involved going into nvidia control panel -> Adjust desktop size and position -> Use Nvidia scaling with fixed-aspect ratio. After trying that though all I get are black bars on the top and bottom of my screen, making it even more widescreened. Basically, how do I get the black bars on the left and right? And please don't say stuff like "just get used to it". Thank you!  | ||

In the end I was unable to use the nVidia settings because I'm using HDMI. The solution I found was to change the resolution back to 4:3 when playing BW through my monitor's OSD. If you have a Samsung, go to Menu->Picture->Image Options->Size and change to 4:3. | ||

Edit: Ah now I get the black bars on the sides after I think making a custom resolution 640x480 in my nvidia control panel. Too bad my CS still has the bars at the top and bottom =[ | ||

djcube: "Hm, I'm using the same card as you, but I never saw that nvidia-specific setting. However, I do have a "fill to aspect ratio" setting on my monitor itself that I can toggle to, so try the monitor settings perhaps?" If you don't see the scaling options, you're probably using a VGA cord instead of the DVI one. I just followed these directions for CS and it worked for SC too. But for CS users, you need to put -freq 75 in the launch options for it to work. "to make cs have those black bars on the side you have to sort of trick your monitor into using that 4:3 ratio that cs supports, you do this by going into your video card options (right click desktop and clicking on nvidia)and clicking on change resolution, then click on the customize button, then custom resolution button, in the window that pops up where it says horizontal pixels and vertical lines you must change it to your widescreen equivalent of your cs resolution in other words 640x480 -> 768x480 800x600 -> 960x600 1024x768 -> 1232x768 so you would but 960 in the horizontal pixels and 600 in the vertical lines if you used 800x600, also were it says refresh rate make sure its set at 75 hertz, then click the timing button, then click the drop down arrow next to standard: and set it to manual this is so none of the settings get changed below, then go back up to the top were it said horizontal pixels and vertical lines and fill it in with your cs resolution (800x600 in this case) after that click test and then ok now that custom resolution is added, lastly this part is very important, go back to your video card options and click the adjust desktop size and position button and make sure Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed-aspect ratio is selected. Also add -w 800 in your launch options so that it uses that resolution you've created. That should do it, it may seem like a lot but it goes by quick im so used to doing this since nvidia never fixed the bug of fixed aspect ratio not working for some people. Any trouble with it feel free to ask for help. p.s. - I've got the latest nvidia drivers available and this fix works for it, I always update them and this fix always works with any version" | ||
