You have to keep the proportions when you scale an image. The problem is that 1280x1024 will NEVER fit 1:1 into a 1600x1200 or 1024x768 format. You will need to cut off parts of the original image.

Man how stupid of me! I didn't even try it!

You don't neccessarily have to keep the proportions, but you will get a wierd looking picture if you don't. Yes cut some off I'm afraid.
