Screen Settings while playing games are too big
Submitted by redmeme34 on March 16, 2008 - 4:13pm.
I am running XP and my screen resolution is at 1024 x 768 pixels. I noticed that when I play a game that takes up the whole screen like azada or anything like that it is too big for my screen. I tried changing the resolution to the smallest setting, but it didn't change anything. When I change the game to "window" view its too small and annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You reinstalled Windows recently and the game worked like you wanted before the reinstall. I think you may be using the standard default VGA graphics driver that Windows put in which may not be capable of the resolution the game needs. Find out what graphics adapter (video card) you have and install the latest drivers for it. If you don't know how to find out what graphics adapter you have, Everest Free Edition is a great utility that among other things, will identify your installed hardware. That's half the battle. The other thing to do is to go to the mfg's website and get the driver package if the driver CD didn't come with your PC. That's all I can do without having it here and banging on it with a stapler.

The windows were at their smallest/ resolution at its highest I tried that and it didn't change anything for my games. There are two using different environment views one is full screen which you do not see the tray with the start menu and date and such. Second being window view where the game is put into a window box that you can min and maximize, but you can not resize them. I am trying to get the full screen view to fit into my screen, and I thought it was just one game but I noticed it on several games. I tried restarting with new settings but that did nothing. I reinstalled windows a couple of weeks ago, but prior to that I did not have this problem.  GuG-Points: 1783 Last Seen: 08/28/2008 - 10:23pm Location: On my own planet... keep off... no visitors.

Unless I'm understanding wrong what you meant by 'smallest', you should put your resolution on the highest setting for smaller images... so you might want to try that... and by window view... is there no way to make the size of the window bigger? like by dragging a corner? .·:·.·:·.·:·.· Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |
