scaling screens on starcraft

Warrior Madness Canada3791 Posts May 24 2008 12:39 GMT #1 I know a technical problem hasn't been posted since late yesterday, but I need my starcraft fix. Okay so when I play starcraft the entire screen is stretched horizantally, that is, a good chunk of the left and right side is cut off from the screen (I can't see the minimap for example). I've searched around these boards and basically you need to use a "fixed aspect ratio" setting in your display driver. But I have a radeon 7500 and the only ATI catalyst version that allows for aspect ratio scaling (version 8.3 and up) is incompatible with my radeon 7500. SO, is there a way to fix this without buying a new monitor/graphics card/snarky replies? Is that better chill?? Thanks!

Warrior Madness Canada3791 Posts May 24 2008 15:11 GMT #6 Omega drivers look interesting but they don't support the catalyst version that I have. Ah well, thanks for the help. I think I'll just bite the bullet and buy a relatively new ati video card. P.S. Holy shit, now this is how you play an mmorpg: http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=omegapc2eu4.jpg
