Hi, i am having problem forcing an old game to fullscreen stretched mode (i don't want original aspect ratio), but i can't seem to do so. The game remains as a normal 800x600 screen.
My monitor & gpu native res are 1920 x 1080, and i have set it as such under DirectX, with "FullScreen Scaling Mode, Stretched" checked under 'General' tab, and "App Controlled FullScreen" unchecked under 'DirectX' tab.
I can set it to any other specific res, such as eg 1440 x 900, 1280 x 720, 1760 x 990 and it works. just 1920 x 1080 won't work.

I've included screenshots of my general & DirectX tabs to show you my settings.

I've downloaded "Ruins of Myth Drannor". Not sure if that is the game RoMD stands for, I dropped 4 .dll files for dgvoodoo and booted the game up, the intro does get stretched a little bit (comparing to how it looked like when running it without dgvoodoo), but it's not full screen, then after skipping it the main menu was stretched to full screen. I didn't even try to use dgvoodoo up to set some basic config, so it's running in default configuration.

Check out the settings a few posts down in the mechwarrior installer in my sig.
I did manage 4:3 1080p.
