From: Linea Recta on 23 Mar 2010 10:15 Because I've become rather attached to the game MS Pinball Arcade I have the following (hardware) question. Since I got my new 16:10 monitor I have to set it to 4:3 aspect manually by OSD each time before I can play the game with the right aspect ratio. After playing I have to reset it back again to 16:10, which is cumbersome altogether. I have been wondering wether it would be possible to control this setting automatically by some software command or batch file just before clicking the game, all in one go. Or is my fantasy going too far this time? -- regards, |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os
