Okay, this is my situation. Apparently, Crysis isn't too happy with my shitty 8600gt pc, and I had to turn it down to 1024 by 768 to actually play it.

Now the problem is that that system uses a 1440*900+ reso. (19 inch widescreen display) and if I change it to that resolution above (1024768) it looks blurred and shitty because it stretches.

Is it possible to make the screen size like a normal 17 inch view 4:3 with black borders around the widescreen monitor? I don't want to use "windowed mode" because it keeps hanging my system.

Xp System here..
 
in your nvidia settings you should be able to set it.

go to flat panel scaling in your nvidia control panel.

click on use display scaling. if your screen does not scale to the resolution then your out of luck.
 
Why not set the res to a low widescreen? I think its 1024x900 you need (But I don't have a widescreen monitor, so can't say for sure)
