The problem is the same in both. The latest Boot Camp drivers don't include the classic control panel, and the CCC (which can be installed both with the official Boot Camp drivers and the latest ATI Mobility drivers) doesn't allow you to change this setting. (And if you don't know what those are, it's a foregone conclusion that you don't know the answer to my problem anyway.)
For those who asked, my computer is a MacBook Pro, and what I'm trying to run is any game that won't run smoothly at native. Sorry, but 1280x768 is not an option in Oblivion. Way too slow. 1024x768 is the best I can do in that and other games. Stretched is completely unacceptable, I can't imagine a situation in which it would be acceptable, and it really irks me that it's the default.

The problem is that when I set the resolution to a non-widescreen resolution it's stretched, control panel or otherwise. Older versions of the Boot Camp graphics drivers included a control panel, found under "advanced" in the settings tab of the display control, that included somewhere a check box to change this. Newer versions of the ATI drivers don't support this classic control panel, and the incredibly awful Catalyst Control Center that they do support doesn't have the old check box. The third-party ATI TrayTools software seems to include such an option, under Displays > Settings, but it doesn't do anything.

I was not referring to a 3rd party setting or ATI software, but a Windows Control Panel that controls the display (Start/Control Panels/Display). Just checking if you tried that.

Anyway, I found the setting in the Catalyst Control Center. Turns out it's under "Notebook Panel Properties" and "Scaling" (or something similar).

So you fixed it?
What I was talking about is a part of Windows XP not Boot Camp.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm using the phrase "Boot Camp" to refer to the drivers.

Supreme Commander (a new game) plays well on the old P4 although I'm not foolish enough to dispute what your saying.

Ok, you found the answer in the Catalyst Control Panel. I've been trying to figure out if the WindowsXP Display Control Panel could have fixed that problem. If you are adventurous, you could go there and see what effect changing setting there has.
