    I just got my new 1520, and I've installed a couple games on it, including bf2142. Since the game doesnt support widescreen, I went to the nvidia control panel and attempted to change the scaling. However, under the "when using a resolution lower than my displays native resolution" options, all the choices are grayed out. I cant select the "do not scale" tab. Anyone else have this issue, and how can I fix it? Is is it something easy I'm overlooking or has Dell locked the options?

    yeah, that's my question on a diff forum, but somewhat differently phrased.
