On my cruddy compaq v2000 lapop with intergrated graphics, is it possible to play battlefield 1942 demo with black bars on the side?
 
On any widescreen, I know of 4 potential solutions.

1. Change your video card settings to use "aspect ratio scaling", or something similar. I have an nvidia card, and for me I go to Control Panel, Display, Settings tab, advanced, Geforce tab, [in the classic nvidia control panel] Display Mode Timing, fixed aspect ratio timing.

2. Use this PowerStrip solution.

3. Go to this site and apply a hack, if your particular game has one listed.

4. Your monitor might have an setting on whether to pillarbox 4:3 resolutions it receives; you'd access it through a menu by pushing one of the front buttons.
