Icebox Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have a laptop, originally Vista, converted to Windows XP. It has 1280x800 Resolution and is suitable for all my gaming needs. The problem is that when I try to run an Adventure Game of a similar resolution at full screen, it is panel fitted, so that the action all takes place in the center, surrounded by a large black mat. The game still works fine, but is shrunk and not run at the resolution it is generally supposed to. This is a problem with all my adventure games, but mostly affects Curse of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, because they are the most recent. What I want to know is, is there a setting I can change to run these guys at true full screen, without panel fitting? Help would be much appreciated.

Varrok Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Go to the Intel configure screen (RMB at Desktop->Graphics Properties) - > Screen Settings -> Ratio Settings - You've got propably the 3rd option selected, so I recommend you to select "Keep Aspect Ratio" one. I've translated names from Polish version, so they may look a bit different Works only with graphic card driver instaled, so if you don't have it... install it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
