Registry Aspect Ratio Fix?

[SPL15]

Just bought a 52" DLP Projector TV and am using for my computer but... The resolution that Windows forces makes the icons, text, and video stretched horizontally.

If I switch the TV to 4:3 Ratio, everything looks back to normal and the aspect ratio is good, but if I switch to 16:9, things become stretched.

The resolution settings in the Properties menu only lists 800x600 and 1024x758. Is there a way to fix the ratio in the registry? or any other way to fix it?

If you are still looking.....

On my WinXP install they reside in HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\VIDEO\{4EFA3D14-0230-468C-BFAD-E516C461BF2C}\0000.

This may differ on your machine possibly. What you are looking for are value names containing XResolution and YResolution.

Just fire up regedit and do a "Find" for "XResolution" and you will find them.

Edit: Just to add a warning though. I have no idea if this will work. These are just where the values are. If you set them to something not standard it might do something bad - on the other hand, it might not.
