 But like mahnini said, there is no way to get around having to use one of those options. | ||

And with the keyboard, i have to partly agree. I can't play with my laptop keyboard because it has FN instead of CTRL in the lower left corner. So i always mess i grouping, which is a big deal in starcraft. Besides that i can type very fast on a flat keyboard, so i don't think its too bad. | ||

I play with black bars, stretched feels awkward. And as people have said, the problem is StarCraft, not the laptop. | ||

And to get black bars this is what I did for my laptop, but I'm not sure if it will apply to everyone. Display settings->Intel graphics accelerator drive for mobile->graphics properties->display settings->aspect ratio options->choose maintain aspect ratio | ||

well i have an acer aspire laptop with windows xp. right click on desktop, properties menu. here you have to go on the options tab, there the special options button. after that intel graphics accelerator options, here graphical properties then display options --> set ratio Most likely you have to look for it in the options of your graphics card driver. | ||

Wtf man? Are you expecting the computer gods to stretch your laptop screen's height to make the scale correct? apparently anyway. I guess he's looking for some sort of super secret hidden widescreen option on a ten year old game. | ||
