Thanks so much for the response David! I do use E-Prime 2.0, but not sure where that dropdown menu is. Where is the option for "Match desktop resolution" located? And when you say to switch the display to 1366x768, do you mean within EPrime? Sorry...I'm a bit new to this.<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div>On Thursday, October 4, 2012 1:53:14 PM UTC-4, McFarlane, David wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">Josh,
<br>
<br>What version of E-Prime do you use? If using EP2, please note the
<br>following statement that I got from PST Web Support when I
<br>asked: "E-Prime 2.0 allows any resolution supported by your video
<br>card. The suggestions in the dropdown menus do use typical 4:3
<br>values, but you can type in any other value you want to use provided
<br>they are supported by your video card." As far as I can tell, this
<br>feature has still not been publicly documented.
<br>
<br>So, try setting your Display resolution to 1366x768, ignoring the
<br>dropdown suggestions. E-Prime should properly fill the screen and
<br>use properly square-shaped pixels. Or just try using "Match desktop
<br>resolution at runtime" = Yes, which in this case should achive the same effect.
<br>
<br>Hope that helps.

<br>much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of
<br>it. 3) In addition, PST takes questions at their Facebook page

<br>though). 4) If you do get an answer from PST staff, please extend
