i guess you are running with windows (are you?)
you could:
1. run it with dosbox, that will for sure have the correct aspect ratio
2. use reslink and set the resolution manualy
3. go to graphic card properties on desktop and look for "aspect ratio fixing" or something (anything with screen scaling and adjustment when aspect ratio is not original)

also except for operation system, what graphic card do you have?

Graphic card is Geforce mx/mx100.
I'll run thru Dosbox, will let you know if I have any problems after that.
Thanks.

np, but if i were you it would still bother me, since you need to emulate it via dosbox and many other applications may have this problem with ratio scaling as well. so if you wanted to make it runable with correct aspect ratio in xp, try checking this:
-go to "nvidia display" (in desktop properties->settings->advanced)
-Digital Flat Panel Settings
-see many different optinos for scaling
