I can't enlarge full screen on any games, I try to play. What should I try?

I can't enlarge full screen on any games, I try to play. They only appear in a little box in the middle of the screen. When I have the option "full screen" on it is black the rest of the screen, but there is still the small size. What should I try?

Hi Amergular,
 
-With what games are you having this problem?
-You are using a laptop or a desktop computer?
 
Try the methods that are listed in the order.
 
Method 1: If you know what your game is set to run at the resolution, set the display settings of Windows at the same resolution as the game. You can also try to adjust your display resolution of 640 x 480 high color (16 bit) and check if it helps.
For more information, see:
 
Method 2: To determine if there is a problem with the video card or video driver, reduce the graphics hardware acceleration setting. To do this, follow these steps:

a. Click Start, type personalization in the search box and then click on personalization in the list programs.

b. click on display settings. Click on advanced settings.

c. click the Troubleshooting tab, and then click on change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

d. move the hardware acceleration slider two notches to the left of Full (the Disable cursor and bitmap accelerations setting).

e. click OK, and then click Restart now.

f. once the computer has restarted, test the game.

Note: If reduce hardware acceleration resolves the issue, you may need to update your video card drivers, or it may mean that your video adapter cannot run your game at full speed.

 
Method 3: Update the video card driver by visiting the website of the manufcturer.
