The aspect ratio scaling works fine for me, but it's far too ugly to play at 640x480. Is there any way to force it to run windowed?

That's why I always use aspect ratio correction. Aspect ratio correction means you don't get stretching; you get black bars on the left and right.


I get that already. :D

I use a CRT that remembers a unique scaling solution for all resolutions. In otherwords, since my native res is 1920x1200 all 4:3 content has the dimensions of 1600x1200 with black bars.

These CRTs, they are the wave of the future. 8)

EDIT - I guess I always thought aspect ratio correction was forcing a 4:3 res to display like a widescreen.

Nothing can make Fallout's graphics prettier. Even in windowed-mode, the graphics will still be the same, only smaller. If you can't make it pretty, why make it small too?

I do not know about LCDs but I have an option with NVIDIA drivers for doublescan mode. It works on lower resolutions and usually produces a better looking result. Depends on the game. Fallout and Arcanum type games look better.
