EDIT: Modified the title of the thread. It used to say "Windows 7 setting" but it's not a Windows setting.
Back to the original post:

So....
I'm taking the VGA output of my Lenovo T420 and feeding it via a six foot VGA cable into a Roland V-40HD video switch.

The moment I connect to the switch (even if the input I'm connecting to is set up to accept an HDMI input), the 16:9ish image on my ThinkPad changes to 4:3. After it comes out of the Roland switch via HDMI, it is letterboxed -- nice black bars above and below the image, and of course the image is stretched horizontally.

We're going to play this tomorrow, regardless, but it would be nice to fix this for later use.

Anybody know how to make a VGA connection (apparently) modify the aspect ratio of a source, and better yet how to make it stop?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
