Switching to a wide-screen (16x9) monitor from an older monitor (4x3) will make your picture distorted unless you changed the resolution.
Most computer on older monitors are set to 1024x768 or 800x600. Both are 4:3 aspect ratios.
It is suggested to change to resolutions such as 1280 x 720, 1366 x 768, 1440 x 900, 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200 and of course, 1920 x 1080. Those are closer to 16:9.
The same goes for connected a computer to a wide-screen TV.
If you don't see those resolutions when you go to change it, I suppose it's possible a newer driver might work. But mostly likely your video adapter is too old and you're out of luck.
