I have an ATI VGA Wonder 512 (with 386/25, 4MB, Windows 3, DOS 4.0).
I run it in 800x600 mode.

The size of the screen in DOS is fine, so it is when the Window's 
banner is displayed. When Windows are actually displayed, the screen
becomes squeezed (horizontaly). It is not a big problem as long as
I do not use any drawing programs. Unfortunately I have to use them,
and if I do, for example circles from my screen are printed as 
ellipses. I have to manually adjust the size of the pictures (in WfW)
after printing them first. It is, of course, a major drawback.

I have tried to change that by using a hidden feature:

	VSETUP ADJSIZE 800 1

but it will not resize to the extent which I want.

The question is: did any of you have similar problem and managed to
solve it? 

I have drivers dated around October 1990. Will a newer version help?

Thanks for any suggestions,

	Andrzej
