Krusbert: Sorry for such a late reply! The AGS engine is indeed notoriously unfriendly to widescren monitors. If the "black bars" checkbox does nothing, I would suggest having it unchecked and instead find a setting in your graphics card control panel to retain the aspect ratio instead of stretching the viewport.
Eagleeye120: Is there a solution for this on a Mac? I bought Kathy Rain for a friend to use on her mac and the game stretches to fill the screen. It doesn't appear that there is a setup app within the file structure that includes the "Black Bars" checkbox.
