photo viewing on a wide monitor

Posted: 11-17-2006, 09:33 PM
I recently purchased a wide screen monitor. I love the extra space for
multi-tasking in windows applications, but it distorts my photo library. Is
there a way to set some global setting so that image files will be viewed in
thier original aspect ratio?

============================
I would expect to find a setting for the
monitor that preserves aspect ratio.
Check your documentation.

Changing your Screen Resolution might
make a difference.

Maybe the following link will be useful:
