Have you tried changing the resolution to a higher setting?

Have you tried changing the resolution to a higher setting?

I tried and it works but game work's slower at high resolution,when i was using Vista or XP every game worked on fullscreen without changing resolution!
Another sugestion?

Check the game configuration menu. It will either be a separate program in the same folder or an option in the main menu (or both). There should be settings there where you can adjust graphics and audio quality. Of course, it could be that the game can only utilise a 4:3 aspect ratio in which case you'll have to accept this limitation. Alternatively, set your screen to that resolution.

I know what your talking about and I have noticed it myself although I don't have to worry about having anything other then my native resolution as my computer it pretty powerful.

I think that it may be feature they have made on purpose because when you have a lower then native resolution on a LCD the picture quality looks horible and in a way that has been overcome by scaling the image to the set resolution and by doing so you don't loose picture quality but the veiwing area is reduced.

So there's nothing i can do?I don't care about graphics quality,i want to play games streched on full screen!

I start to dislike Windows Seven:first I can't access network pc which use XP SP2 and now games don't go streched on fullscreen!

have you tried all of the sugestions posted? It might help if you filled in your system specs so we would know a little bit about your computer. You could also tell us exactly what the problem is.

oh my bad..i just added everythihng.. let me know if i need to give you anything else...ok so i have the same problem like the first guy...my game is playing in 4:3 ratio i think? where there are black strips at the ends..i want it to fill the whole screen. i read somewhere that you can change it from the graphics manager..i just downloaded the ATI catalyst for Windows 7....and i dont think it installed anything..like there is nothing in the folder..and no new program.

Hi snd welcome to seven forums

Ok either its a display drvier or monitor. Lets take a look in devic manager (type device manager in search) look under display adapters and see if is working correctly.

You can upload a snip (use snipping tool yeah type that in search) and upload it using the paperclip icon for attachments.

lets try that first

yes it is..there is nothing wrong there..either. its really wierd..did you read about my ATI driver thing? like i used XP, Vista and now 7..and in the former 2...there was a graphics center where i could control some settings for my graphics card..and i read somewhere for someone who had nvidia that he had used his program for nvidia to solve the game problem..but i cant seem to instaill the program for the ATI radeoon card..everytime i install..it just finishes but nothing new is added.

Its been a while since I had an ati card (all in wonder days) but doesn't it come in 2 files the driver and the control center?

Let me look

edit for add . Im assuming you dl'ed the 3600 series for either 32 or 64 bit, right. If 32 the ccc is here http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-32bit if 64 bit they dont support so you may have to use vista 64.

 

[xdarkgokux]

OHHH yea...i think your right then..cause i have 64 bit...so should i just download the 3600 for vista? 64bit?

 

[zigzag3143]

Xdark

The CCC for (vowsta kinda like wowsta) vista 64 might work its probably your best bet given that they dont have a win 7 support for the ccc yet.
