I've just bought a widescreen tv/monitor.
My version of XP is about 5 years old.
how do I set windows to a widescreen setting?


You very likely can *not* do this with your present equipment. You need a
video card that supports the wide-screen resolution you want to use.
Especially if your video card is five years old, it probably does not have
that support. If that's the case, your only solution is to replace the video
card with one that provides such support.

At present, the best I can get is stretched to fit, not really a problem
with text, but
images are all fat.
