New monitor help

[themick07 1]

I just got a new 21.5" monitor because my old one was shit. So I got it all set up and realized my CS:S was too slow with the recommended resolution (1920x1080). My computer is shit so I can't run it in 1920x1080 and I am currently running in 1280x720. This makes everything look bad. Does any one know how to make the image into a square so it isn't as stretched?

My aspect ratio is 4:3 and my resolution is 800x600. It doesn't always matter about graphics, I do quite well compared to using high resolutions. It has been proven in other games that using smaller resolutions can have a tighter spread.

Run it in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. It will run in a window like any other program at whatever resolution you have the game set to.

 

Even on my computer I run windowed mode even though it's the same resolution as my monitor, then all I have to do is open the chat box or something and my mouse is unlocked and it's 100 times easier to tab-out to another screen to do something else.
