EPrime display settings for widescreen monitors

[Speech Perception Research Lab NYU]

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.

Thanks!
