Patch 16:9 resolutions[2]
Requires the 3D Acceleration patch
  1. Download pre-patched 16:9 .exe's here
  2. Replace the original .exe in <path-to-game> with either the Steam or PopCap (retail) .exe
  3. Launch the game with the -widescreen parameter
Manually patch 16:9 resolutions[2]
  1. Use a hex editor and open the game's executable (.exe)
  2. Press Ctrl+F and search for the hex value, (not text): 68 A3 02
  3. Change the value A3 to 60
  4. Save the file
  5. Launch the new .exe with the -widescreen parameter
Force desktop resolution/aspect[2]

In order to not have a stretched image, change the desktop resolution to 1728x1080.
If 1080p (1920x1080) display (or resolution) is used, the image will stretch horizontally from 1728x1080 to 1920x1080
Alternatively the NVIDIA/AMD/Intel graphics control panel can be used to force the aspect ratio.
