Aspect ratio problems with 4:3 games on my widescreen monitor.

Everytime I try to play a game in full screen mode that isn't in widescreen format, it gets stretched. Does anyone here have any idea what I could do to resolve this problem? My graphics card is an NVidia GeForce 250 GTS by EVGA and my monitor is a model W2361V by LG. It's a really annoying problem and I absolutely hate playing games in window mode. The only type of games I can seem to play in 4:3 mode at full screen are some games in emulators and that's about it. :/

your video card will have an option for fixing aspect ratio scaling in full screen games

QuoteSince I am connected to my monitor through VGA I have no Nvidia Scaling option under Adjust Desktop Size And Position in my Nvidia control panel.

Looks like I found the culprit to my problem. Unfortunately, Radio Shack closes early on Sundays so I won't be able to provide an update until tomorrow.

It actually doesn't, but I have a VGA/DVI-D converter thing. Anyways, when I select "use NVIDIA scaling with a fixed-aspect ratio", click apply, and then say I want to keep the changes, it goes back to "use my display's built-in scaling". I have no idea why it's doing this.
