I have a 16:10 19" widescreen and my windows media center has been in the normal 16:9 ratio but I opened it a couple of days ago and it is sqaure (1:1) :eusa_wall. It squashes the picture which is meant to be 16:9 into 1:1 but is fine when its full screen, but that doesn't really work when I like watching tv while multitasking...

I'm on windows 7 RC at the moment and its been fine since I installed it around june. Its happened to me before on vista too but I couldn't find any fixes for the problem online after searching.

Does anyone else have the same problem or know any fixes? Or any useful websites which might offer a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Just go through the screen setup again.

Done that. it does nothing for windowed mode, only full screen.

Go on Live TV or whatever, right click somewhere in the window and then click Zoom, change your setting, done.

I guess its a half-fix. The window still remains squared but atleast the picture isn't squashed.

(sry guys, gotta spread rep for both of you)

Mine did that too, it ended up randomly going back the other way after a reboot or two
