    I have a laptop w/ a 1280*800 screen, but since it has only a GO 6150(w/ 7.15.10.9815 driver I think), I am limited to running 800*600. My question is, how do I get black bars to show up on the sides of the screen in games like Guild Wars, etc so that it won't stretch 800*600 to fit the whole screen. I have heard of some nvidia feature called fixed aspect ratio, but that is not available in my nvidia control panel. What are my options to solve this? Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Edit: I am running vista

    O, and I didn't say it in the 1st post but I am running Vista. If anyone has the answer, I would really appreciate it. It is my brothers birthday soon and I want it ready for him to use. Thank You. (sorry for the double post).

    Upgrade to the newest Vista driver and the Fixed Aspect Ratio Scaling should be present in the Control Panel.

    The one from windows update doesn't have it.
    The one from HP does not have it I don't think.
    Do I get one of the LV2Go drivers?
    Which one works for you on your go 6150?
