Problems with low resolution games

Hello, my name is GiZmO_themachineking.

I noticed that in Windows Vista (or maybe it's just my computer) that when I play a game with a lower resolution on my screen (1280 * 800), rather than the pixels 'stretch' to fill the screen, it is scaled down and centered in the Middle, with a black frame around it.

Of course, I can turn the resolution but my computer isn't very good and what makes the slow race game.

Anyone know how I can fix this error and force the pixels in a game to 'stretch' to fill the screen?

I think that on the only workaround for the problems of games would be to change the DPI for the fonts setting in your Control Panel/customization "fonts Size (DPI) adjustment." Mark L. Ferguson MS - MVP

    Hello

    I put t know what games you want to play, but generally speaking, it of also depending on the game you can use screen resolutions. For example if your game supports only 2 screen resolutions, you can only use these resolutions.

    So all you can do is update the driver DirectX and display. Then, look for an update (patch) for the game.

    Good luck! :)

  • I have a problem with a Gamehouse game. Talked to them and they say that it is a problem of compatiablity with Vista.

    I have a problem with a Gamehouse game

    Talked to them and they say that it is a problem of compatiablity with Vista. It's Super Jigsaw Puzzle and I the hours worked in several puzzles and now when I try to go inside he closes Super Puzzle. This is frustinating because I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program 3 times, it does not help. Is that what I can do to fix this problem in Vista? I have all the updates except IE 8.  We like IE7, but all the other updates sent we have.

    If it is a program downloaded and installed, read this:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on setup.exe O run as admin.

    See you soon.

  • Having problems with the resolution of the screen from the 1st upgrade.

    Hello, I have a tower running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and upgraded to Service Pack 2 of Windows Vista Business, and he had problems while improving the pc. I lived the degrading resolution and become more pixel and color has begun to degrade. It didn't happen until I updated. and now the upgrade was a success and the resolution of the screen was horrible. Color is distorted, and some icons are not yet. The resolution is 640 x 480 pixels and the color was at its lowest level. I changed the higher color bit and the graphic resolution is improved, but the size of the screen was always the same. I tried to put my monitors resolution which is 1280 x 720 pixels, but when I put it on this resolution, the quality and graphics began to become distorted and never changed size. then, once I applied it, it go back to the lower resolution and color. And I updated my computer during upgrade. Is there anyway that I can fix this?

    Thank you!

  • Problems with playback of games on my Satellite L300-13 b

    I hope I've put this in the right forum.

    I tried different games and some of them seem to work, even if my computer exceeds the minimum system requirements.

    For example, I tried to install and play call of duty 2.
    After reducing to the lowest settings possible, the game still does not properly.
    I don't really understand what seems to be the problem.

    The game I'm playing at the moment is to Blood bowl.
    According to the requirements of gaming system, my computer should work fine with this game.
    Curiously, this isn't. I tried to use "system requirements lab" and their program: "can you run".
    However, it shows that I can not run the game, even if my computers Betacam is good enough.

    If anyone knows what could be the problem, please help me.

    Hello

    > After reducing to the lowest possible settings, the game still does not properly.
    If I understand correctly, you are able to start the game but the chart doesn't normally elapse.
    Is this correct?

    Hey mate... Listening
    As far as I know, that this unit was equipped with the graphic chip Intel GL960.
    To be honest this chip chart ist not designed for purposes of games!
    It s a common graphics chip that can be used for a common office of the purpose, but it of not designed for games!

    So you're going to get the game running, but don t expect too much

  • Problem with the Activision game

    Hi Mark
    Thanks a lot for your answer. Sorry, it took a lot of time to get back to you, Windows 7, you do not know ;-)

    Right, I tried both of your suggestions, the first I followed religously, had incorrect switch or waited for bad back prompt [!] I think so. The second went well, but nothing seemed to be the case, no patience, maybe.
    In any case, I bought another 1 Tb HDD [Cheap @ Maplins, UK] and tried to the other installation costs. Guess what? Yes, it is true, he went abso-bloody-Marc soft.
    No problem. Everything is installed, or almost, and it's all working well.
    Thanks again Mark.
    p.s. I don't think you know why everyone including Activision AND Microsoft said that Call of Duty: World at War is totally compatible and works on Windows 7 64 bit... and! do you have?

    All the best
    Bozsvfr

    Bozsvfr,
    COD: World at War is a game compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.  A common problem with some games running after moving to Windows 7's hardware drivers.  Make sure that your system meets the requirements of the game system and then update your hardware drivers.  If make sure that hardware vendors have 64-bit drivers Windows 7 available, usually video and sound drivers cause problems with games when they are not updated.

    If everything is up to date so you may want to boot your pc and test.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    (b) is the display horizontal bar change only whem you play the game?
     
    (c) you have installed the updated display drivers?

  • Problem with the resolution of the screen on Windows 7. Help.

    Shot something went wrong with my resolution to screen on windows 7. It worked fine until the last day, but when I turned on my desk today, don't be was not passed the windows logo 7 at startup, so I turned off and then back on it and did a repair startup that did not set the startup, then I did a system restore and it worked.

    However, when I connected, the screen resolution changed from 1024 x 768 and recommended resolution is 1440 x 900 . All other resolutions are available, except that which is required for my HP monitor. I have tried a few things to fix the problem, as the system restore, reinstalled-graphics, reinstalled the Windows 7 operating system several times but nothing happed. Help, please. Here is a screenshot of resolution available.

    Help. Help. Help.

    This should get the correct resolution listed.

    Find and install the drivers for the monitor for Windows: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph02073

    Also if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, you can create a resolution custom from the NVIDIA Control Panel.

  • Problem with the resolution when you connect to a projector

    I regularly used my laptop connected to a projector via a cable VGA for PowerPoint and video clips view in Windows Media Player.   It is automatically detected and adjusted for different sizes of screen of the laptop screen (1366 x 768) and projector (1024 x 768) and projected with success.   Recently I connected the laptop to a second monitor - also 1024 x 768 - instead, and even once, it fits perfectly.

    It suddenly stopped setting for the resolution of the projector; When I go to the resolution of the screen, the option to set the resolution of the second screen is grayed out.   No matter if I use extend or duplicate, he insists that the two screens are 1366 x 768.   This has happened with two projectors, all two used to work properly.   I also tried different VGA cables.  The end result is that the image of the projector is hurry to tray.

    I can connect fine to the second monitor via the VGA port and sometimes with different resolutions for both screens.   I can also connect to a TV via an HDMI cable.   I can't try a HDMI cable for the spotlight as it is ceiling mounted, and the other is old and is not an HDMI connection.

    I checked the drivers and they seem to be up to date.

    My laptop is a Dell Latitude running Windows 7.   The graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000.   I tried many suggestions already given on these forums without success.   The real puzzle is that it was working fine and nothing I can draw has changed except that I connected on the other monitor.

    Hi Tony,.

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue. I'm sorry to know that the issue is still unresolved, your efforts to solve this problem are much appreciated.

    I suggest to follow the method below and check if that helps:

    Method 1: Perform a system restore.

    System restore

    System restore WARNING: when you use the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    Method 2: Uninstall all hidden devices:

    Step 1: See the article below to activate the devices hidden in Device Manager.

    Look at a hidden devices

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/hardware/ff553955 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

    Step 2: After you enable hidden devices, remove devices from Device Manager.

    1. press start.

    2. type device manager in the start search box.

    3. Select Device Manager in the search result.

    4 uninstall everything that are grey also uninstall the drivers to display completely.
    5 restart the computer and install the drivers to view the manufacturer's Web site.

    Hope this information helps, just reply to the State of the question to get help.

    Hi Rizwan

    Unfortunately, I do not have a restore point old enough until the problem occurred.   I have not found any that was relevant in hidden devices, but in normal Device Manager mode when I clicked on "monitor" it opened a "Generic PnP" entry even when there was no extra monitor or projector fixed.   When an additional monitor has been attached, there were two of these entries.   I disabled them both, and I found that I can now adjust the resolution of a second monitor to a different setting of the laptop screen.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Upgrading to Windows 7 HP Pavilion dv6500 and have a problem with the resolution

    OK, here's my problem. I had Windows Vista, has been sick with it. I'm not used to ask someone if I can or can not install some software or OS, so I have two formatted partitions (recovery hp too) and installed windows 7 now, I discovered that he had a lot of problems with the drivers. I have successfully resolved all of them, even my hp legacy works and everything else, except the driver Nvidia. My screen resolution is 1024 x 768 and should be 1280 x 800. I tried all the drivers that are provided in the topic above here (dv6000 - dv9000 update for Win 7 or something like that) also downloaded and installed this driver "179.48_notebook_winvista_win7_32bit_beta", nothing helps worked on this problem for 2 days, am tired and ask for help I need resolution 1280 x 800 on my screen , and I now have 1024 x 768.
    Product: HP Pavilion dv6500

    AMD Athlon X 2 and probably GeForce 7 GB video series...

    PS sory for my English.

    Dan or one of the others may be able to help if you post exactly what indicates the error.

    As you say you are not a noob so maybe you need to change something in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Maybe go to the advanced option when you're at NVIDIA.

    Personally when I clean installs I delete, and format the entire disk before installing W7. Doing it this way usually prevents this kind of error occurs. When you use the W7 install disk to format, it may not remove all of the old files registry Vista and can cause problems.

    If you start from scratch once again, this may solve your problem, but there is no guarantee.

    It took 4 tries on my HDX from Vista to W7 to do things.

    I just took a glance at my NVIDIA advanced and under Show options there is an option to "manage custom resolutions. Here I could input what I wanted. What's your has that?

  • problem with running my games more old and newish on Windows 7. __

    Why is there such a probllem with my older games running and more newish on Windows 7.
    If I knew that I would probably be stuck with vista or XP

    Yes, probably you if you use the computer half the time for older games. It is like buying a PS3 with the emulator software and expects all the old games to work, just not going not to happen.

    All games in particular does not? Usually running the installer as administrator (right click, run as admin) works for most things and then launch the game itself in compatibility mode sometimes fixes things.
