why all my installed games is not full screen?

[mrsunico]

hello, can someone explain to me why all my games like, battlerealms, redalert3, warcraft3, rise of nation, plantsVSzombies, etc. is not full screen? theres two color black on both side of screen..
is it normal ? or can i make it full screen.. without affecting the video quality? :huh:

Only thing I can say is because the graphic resolution in the game is not the same as the native resolution of your Vaio?

In other words... check the Native Resolution of your Vaio and make sure that, once you are inside the game, go to Options/Video and adjust the resolution to the same one your laptop is.

Hello;

Your games are probably running at 800x600, but rather than scaling the image to take up the full screen, your display is showing it at its native resolution.The native resolution of your display is 1366 X 768.
Usually older games does not support your native resolution.
Therefore,
Alt+Enter should get the job done.
-Works in 7, Vista, and XP.

Hope this helps
