Poll: What are we playing while waiting? - I'm playing Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. It's my first computer game - picked it up at a discount - used as it is - and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I've played Lara on - so this time around I just might pick up the PC..

I've been playing TRA and I love it - It's much better than TRL and AOD. It is similar enough to the original to make it a game. It is as beautiful as TRL if not more so IMO. I am playing on PS3 (PS2 game) and the controls are fine. What I like is that there is..

Directed to the person who stopped playing TR7 - Sorry. I don't remember who stated they quit playing TR7 due to controls and so on. I was wondering if that person would be in selling the game? I don't actually have a system that will run the game now, but maybe at some point in..

Set your screen resolution to match the native resolution of your flat screen. Then ensure that TR is using the same resolution. JW

I am running an nVidia graphics card. In my case, I was able to fix it in the nVidia Control Panel. If you are not running an nVidia card, perhaps your card has a similar option. On the left side of the nVidia Control Panel, click on "Display", then "Change flat panel scaling". Then, on the right side, change the setting from "Use my display's built-in scaling" to "Use NVIDIA scaling with fixed-aspect ratio". The only problem I have now is that the game cannot run at my monitor's native resolution. As a result, it isn't crystal clear, but very playable.

I have vista and it has a proportion-keep ratio alternative in graphics I put on that now.. but what's funny is that the level I'm playing now has fixed the ratio(before I did this). It's built into the exe file I think. Lara is long and thin now:P S

Oh forgot to mention, it's a standalone great level, called Spectrum. Download it from trle.net.

If your graphics card can't sort out the aspect ratio by itself, then you're probably just going to have to put up with a weird Lara. If its just a resolution problem, then...yeah...she's gonna be fuzzy! You gotta remember that the program (TR4, yeah?) came about a while before modern hardware was around and future proofing software against hardware inovations is pretty much impossible. Play with the options on the graphics card, and the settings in the OS, but I doubt you're gonna get much better than what you have now. TC

And this particular level made the correct ratio on my widescreen laptop, wish they all were like that:( S
