Games on a widescreen moniter?

a couple of the games i play on my widescreen laptop im pretty sure dont support a widescreen view (according to the options in the game) as of right now, the games play with their original resolution, with just black area on each side. for some reason this just bothers me, and i would rather have the game be stretched horizontally a little bit, or kindof have the game be a window that i can minimize %26amp; move around (like you can with solitaire) is there a way to get that?



i have an hp pavilion entertainment laptop, with Vista. and 2 of the games im talking about are sim city 4, and civilization IVGames on a widescreen moniter?
Have you thought about hooking up to an external monitor? I don't know that there is a way to make the game take up the whole screen, but you may check your display settings, especially if you have software that came for controlling your video card. Other than that, try connecting to a normal monitor when you are playing games, there should be a VGA port (which is the normal monitor jack) somewhere on your laptop that will let you connect to another monitor.
