1440x900 and 1680x1050 both work wonders.

The game is anamorphic for resolutions other than 16:9.
Did you try the various AR settings ?
Advanced Options ... Letterbox Aspect Ratio ...
Aspect Ratio ... Auto ...

Don't blame yourself mate. An advanced setting that requires an edit to be useful... not fair.
Feel free to update your screenshot comparison anytime though !

Is anamorphic 16:9 the default behavior?

I must be missing something here, because every time I try and do this fix with fullscreen enabled, it reverts into 640x480 "safe mode" graphics. I tried running it with and without "widescreen" enabled, but I cannot get this to run in fullscreen mode; does it simply only work in a window?
I have a native 1440x900 resolution widescreen monitor, and I'm running GeForce 8600 GTS with the latest drivers. I have the graphics settings maxed out, and I've tried messing with some of them, but I'm not even sure what would be causing a problem.
If it will only run in a window, does anybody know how to move/resize/position the window so at least I can't see the toolbar, etc.? I tried a program that I use for this sometimes called WinScraper, but it seemed to be unable to cope with Serious Sam.

Nevermind, I figured it out.
The engine, at least on my compy with my video cards, settings, etc., will reset any unusual resolutions if you try to force fullscreen when the option "Access Mode" is set to "Performance;" it needs to be set to compatibility instead. I don't know why nobody else seems to have had this problem, though, but changing the option fixed the problem.
