![]() ![]() Here's how you get at the aspect ratio settings in the legacy Vista drivers (version 9.11 in my case) on Windows 7 on a laptop:Ģ. Your instructions do not work with those "legacy" Vista drivers. For those devices, you have to install the old 9.x-series "legacy" Vista drivers and Catalyst Control Center onto Windows 7. Unfortunately ATI has not released any Windows 7 drivers for their older DirectX9-based graphics cards/chipsets. Tested under W7 RTM and Catalyst 9.8 and 9.12 drivers. ![]() ![]() Even though the forementioned scaling controls are greyed out and you can actually see "Scale image to full panel size" grey-selected, don't worry. The scaling options will now be selectable, check the "Enable GPU scaling" box and select "Maintain aspect ratio". For your desired display, click the little black triangle in the bottom part of the screen, on the LITTLE picture, not the BIG one, and click "Configure". At the top left, click the "Graphics" menu, and then "Desktops & Displays". Set it to advanced mode if it's not already. Right-click your desktop, and go to the Catalyst Control Center. Set your resolution to anything below your usual resolution. Thus we're stuck into Flattenedville any time the resolution is not widescreen. As some of you who may noticed (those who have widescreen panels and are into retro-gaming or play games at anything other than your desktop resolution), there's a bug in the ATI drivers for W7 (maybe Vista, don't know) that disables scaling and doesn't let you pick any scaling options. ![]()
