Can you get windows to output to a tv in widescreen ratio?

I'm using my MEGA180 to output directly to a TV, but the picture is always stretched to fit, as obviously the two available resolutions Windows gives me are more like 4:3 ratio.
Is there any way, or any software, that can make windows output in widescreen?

Some drivers for some graphic cards have this built in, nVidia dont, and if you havnt found any, you probably dont have it.
You could try nVidia System Utility, I dont know if it has this option as I havnt tried it myself, it's free at http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility.html
Otherwise PowerStrip has this function and much more, a trial is avaible at http://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm. There's a free app on the same site, but you can't customize modes, but maybe it has what you're looking for at http://entechtaiwan.net/util/multires.shtm
Maybe there are more apps and even free ones, I don't know, but now you have something to try and go on.

  • HT3986 Can you get windows using bootcamp without a disc or a usb- through online download?

    Really just what it says. Can i buy windows 7 off the microsoft website and just use the download there with bootcamp?

    Yes, sort of. You can download Windows, but then you need to burn it to disk or USB. It requires this to allow you to boot to that disk when you restart your machine. Mounting the ISO to a partition might not work.
    You can easily download the ISO version of Windows, and create the disk that way.
    There's a whole article detailing the process here:
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    That article includes a tool that will let you burn the ISO to DVD or USB but it only works in Windows. If you're unable to use that tool, you will need to use your favorite burning software to do it.
    OR if you're using Boot Camp 4, you might be able to use the Boot Camp Assistant to create this disk. Depending on your Mac, there might be an option for "Create a Windows 7 install disk". See here for info: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

  • Can you get windows on a macbook pro without discs?

    hi ive recently bought a MacBook Pro which i am very pleased with however i play a few games on my old pc and i hear i will need to install windows onto my mac using a disc (which i am willing to purchase) HOWEVER i have looked on You tube a few times to watch how to do it and they all use THE ORIGINAL discs which came with their laptop however mine didnt come with any discs is there a way around it if so can someone please tell me step by step as to how to do it?
    Many thanks

    Usually the OEM version of Windows that came with your machine is licensed to that machine only so there isn't a way to legally use that copy of Windows.  Many people think that's unfair but fair and legal aren't always the same thing.
    Sorry

  • Can you get values back from a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters?

    Can you get values back from calling a stored procedure via OUTPUT parameters/variables? I call the SP via a SQL statement from a script either in a WF or DF.
    I thought I read some reference that DI could not get the values from OUTPUT parameters but I could not find it again (don't know if it is in any of the documentation or referred to in a forum.
    I did try a couple of tests but it did not reutrn any values via OUTPUT. But before I give up I thought I'd see if you could and maybe I needed to change something.

    This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but I'll point out that, given that you're resorting to a SQL script in the first place, there's no reason you can't also turn the output parameters into a regular result or record set. (The following uses T-SQL, although I think it's pretty generic.)
    declare @param1 int, param2 varchar(100), @return int;
    exec @return = proc @param1 = @param1 output, @param2 = @param2 output;
    select @param1 as param1, @param2 as param2;
    That is, to get from output parameters to a "regular" output from the SQL script isn't much of a leap...

    Hi
    How can I get Windows (v7 x64) to open in Dreamweaver (CS5) if I right click it?
    None of the normal mechanisms of setting an application to be the DEFAULT application for the .HTML file type seem to work...
    Extremely irritating.

    A list of various "recommended applications" but not including Dreamweaver. It's not in the list of Other Applications either. And if I browse for it, my selection of dreamweaver.exe is flatly ignored without message.

  • How can you get your iPhone videos to compress to one video instead of 5 different frames?

    How can you get your iPhone videos to compree to one video instead of different frames

    It sounds like you to 5 separate videos. If you start recording, then stop it, then start it again, you will have 2 videos. Not 1. As for splicing them together, you will need a video editing package for your PC. I don't know if Windows Movie Maker (or whatever they're calling it now) can handle this or not. On a Mac, I'd say just use iMovie.

    Where can I get Window's software for my Macbook Pro? I'm trying to run ARCview. However, it requires Windows. I'm trying Bootcamp. but, it isn't recognising the disk that I currently have.

    Maybe because it's not a 'genuine' retail version? Many OEM versions just don't work - and I've no idea which flavor of Win7 your friend downloaded. Obviously one that Boot Camp doesn't recognize. Best to just pony up the cash for a full retail version, of some flavor - and use it. You COULD, of course, download the 14-day trial version of Parallels Desktop and see if you can install Win7 as a virtual machine... it might or might not work. Boot Camp just isn't finding the resources it needs on the copy you have - try Parallels and if that doesn't work just purchase a retail (or student discounted) version.

  • Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

    Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

    Okay, So What you can do is
    1. Read get the version from your  database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
    2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

  • If I use Bootcamp, can I get Windows viruses on my Mac?

    I am using Mac OS X 10.8.3. I am about to install Windows 7 on my iMac with Bootcamp. Can I get Windows virus on my Mac because of Bootcamp?

    If you do, it'll only affect the Windows partition of your hard drive.
    If you feel really worried, I'd suggest running Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels or similar. You can set things up so that there's no access to your Mac from the virtual machine and, if the VM gets a problem, you can just delete it.

    I can't get Window's Media Player to "recognize" my new ipod shuffle.  Does anyone have a solution?  When I pull the ipod shuffle up in Devices and Printers, it says it needs Troubleshooting, but the Troubleshooting provides no solution.

    Windows Media Player?  As far as I know, that won't work.  You need to install iTunes

    That will install the software you need to use your shuffle with your computer.

  • Help Mac-brothers: can't get Windows to install

    Thanks for reading. No matter how I try, I just can't get Windows (either Vista or XP Pro) installed on my Macpro! I made a partition with Bootcamp, started the installationprocess, on asking where to put Windows I selected the Bootcamp-partition and reformatted it. No matter what I do, it keeps telling me that it can't install Windows becouse it does not see a suitable sytem volume. what am I doing wrong? It drives me mad. Any help is welcome. Thank in advance!

    Vista x64 doesn't like the NTFS partition BootCamp creates, so you have to delete and format, then reboot off the Vista DVD again.
    And sometimes it only works if OS X is nowhere to be found (removed).
    I always put Windows Vista on its own hard drive. And pull my OS X drive.
    Having four drive bays, very easy.
    Never tried with Pro. And in fact, I only 'tested' BootCamp Assistant once or twice. I just format a drive as FAT and then let Vista format it. BCA isn't necessary, and you can install the Apple drivers later when Windows is fully installed, patched, updated, and running fine.

    I have installed Windows 7 in a boot camp partition. I can only use usb keyboard and mouse by booting Windows intyo safe mode, and I am totally unable to use my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I resolve this?
    I'm running Lion - 10.7.2. Boot Camp Assistant fails to download drivers - that issue has been going on for some time, and has been reported by others as well.
    But that answers your question.  You get the drivers by using BCA to download them.  Your inability to download the drivers is a separate issue than not being able to use your wireless keyboard.
    While some people may have issues downloading the drivers, many others have successfully downloaded the drivers.  I have downloaded them fine on several different Macs.  It may take a long time, depending on the speed of your internet connection.  Mine took over 3 hours.
    Regardless, you need to download the drivers using Boot Camp Assistant.  Try again, and if you still have problems, start a new thread and provide as much details as possible to describe what your seeing so that we don't have to go through this back-and-fourth, and you'll get your answer quicker.

  • AppleScript error with iTunes: Can't get window 'iTunes' of class pcap ...

    I'm positive there's a better way to check if AirTunes is the active device (maybe by seeing if the current playlist is a device playlist, and checking the source name?), but I don't have any way to test that.

  • Can you put windows on a new macbook pro

    can you  put windows on a new macbook pro ? yes or no, which notebook can i put windows on if not the macbook pro?

    WIndows 7 is the only Windows OS supported by the new Macs.
    You usually use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install the Windows product on the Mac.
    This creates a system where you boot into Mac OSX OR Windows.
    see more at http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    There are programs such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion that can create a Virtual Machine within Mac OSX - giving you access to both Operating Systems at once. You may get slight performance issues as you would be essentially running two Operating Systems at once.
