    Hey guys, in Half-Life 2, the settings only allow me to choose up to 1024x768 resolution, but I'm positive my laptop will play it in 1280x1024 or higher resolution with perfectly respectable framerate. Is there any way to sort of force it into these higher modes? Perhaps a driver upgrade? My laptop has the nVidia GeForce 8400M GS GPU

    well I feel like an idiot. I figured it out, all I had to do was change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:10

    Don't feel bad, it took me 10 seconds to figure it out for CSS.
