A Perfect Urkel

Hey Erwin! If you've picked up the GOG.com versions, they actually pre-include a customized ddraw.dll and a "dxcfg.exe" tool in the installation folder. If you run the dxcfg.exe, you can set it to preserve aspect ratio, choose to run it in a window, and use any resolution you choose. It also lets you set Anisotropic Filtering for textures and up to an 8x anti-aliasing setting. In my personal experience, the GOG.com version already maintains aspect ratio with the defaults in that cfg tool, so... If you're using a different version, I'll be a bit less helpful, buuut: if you have an nVidia card, there's a way to tell it to lock the aspect ratio instead of stretching to fit whenever it's displaying something at a resolution other than your native widescreen. In Windows' Control Panel, open the Nvidia Control Panel, and look under "Adjust desktop size and position" -- it'll be something like "Scaling Mode: Aspect Ratio." There IS something similar for AMD cards and Intel chips with onboard video, but sadly I can't say off-hand how to find it exactly. --- Steve et al, I can't tell you how happy I am to see CMx1 on GOG.com. Thanks for being cool with third party distribution in this case.
