<div dir="ltr">Hi Kaitlyn,<div><br></div><div>This depends on the software options of the graphics card of the laptop. Most drivers have options to select the display modes: scale full screen on/off and keep aspect ratio on/off. Scaling is in some cases acceptable, but only if the aspect ratio is unchanged. Those options can typically be configured using manufacturer-specific software. For example Radeon graphics cards come with Catalyst Control Center, but other manufacturers offer similar configuration software. Another workaround is to connect an external monitor that has the desired resolution. However, video timing might be less accurate in that case.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I'm having a similar problem. I was wondering if anyone had an answer to Josh's original question, as to whether there is a general setting in Windows that can be changed to fix display resolution in E-Prime, rather than changing each script individually. To maintain consistency across multiple laptops, we chose a display setting that resulted in a square display with black space on the right and left side of the screen. This was working fine on a normal and widescreen monitor, but we recently updated the normal laptop and now the E-Prime display is stretched out to fill the whole screen. The best solution we've found so far is to choose "Yes" for "Match desktop resolution at runtime." However, this is problematic for two reasons: 1) although the images are no longer distorted, they are not the same size as they were with the previous settings, which is a problem with consistency, and 2) this solution involves changing settings in ~25 E-Prime files, and having slightly different versions of the files on different computers. I think there must be a general Windows setting that controls this issue, seeing as this only changed when we updated the Windows system. Note we did not change the OS (XP), but just changed hard drive and RAM.</div>

Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Our lab just got a new experimental laptop which has a slightly different screen size than our other 2. We run about 6 different experimental tasks in EPrime on all 3 of these machines, and when we use the new one with the wider monitor, all of the images and text get stretched horizontally. I understand that I can fix the problem by changing the properties for each image on EPrime, but I'm wondering if there is some more general setting that I can change for the one computer so that images won't be stretched and I won't need to change individual settings within each script. Our old laptops use a display setting of 1024x768 pixels, and this new one uses 1366x768. Changing the display settings for the computer itself doesn't fix the problem, so I wonder if I can do it within EPrime. In PowerPoint, for example, when presentations are viewed fullscreen on a widescreen monitor, it fills the sides with blank space so that everything can be done on a standard display size and avoid stretching. I'm wondering if I there is an equivalent setting within EPrime.</div>
