Some game programs won't open full screen.

I have a wide screen 22 inch and Doom3, Tiberium Sun, Armada2, etc won't open full screen. I have set myself properties to optimize, but still have the same problem.  Doom3 and Armada2 fill the screen from top to bottom, but there are black bars on the left and right of the screen.  Sun of Tiberium works well, but it is centered in the middle of the screen.  I updated to Windows 7 and this seems to be my only problems.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Some of the games probably do not support widescreen and your screen resolution.  The basic rule is defined at each game to run at the resolution of your screen.  Probably of 1920 x 1200 or 1440x900ish, or somewhere along those lines.

Sun of Tiberium goes up to 800 x 600.  Doom 3 out of the box only also has options for 4:3 and only widescreen with some custom options (more here on the configuration of Doom 3).

If you open the menu of the monitor should be options of fill, aspect and 1:1, or something in that sense.  Barrier will extend some image to fill the entire screen, look to stretch, but don't exchange not aspact and 1:1 ratio shows the game in any resolution that he uses.

  • How to make files/programs, etc. to open full screen

    Somehow, most of my files/programs/etc have opened in a small window.

    I'm tired of having to "Maximize" everything when it comes to the top...  I want to expand at its opening.

    Assuming that you have not configured for open programs from Taskbar Start, restart and open only a program that needs the resized window. He reach and close the program. Restart and open it again. Is - this full screen?

    I've only used Win 98, XP, Vista, 7 and 10 and he has worked with all these versions.

  • in the full desktop screen I try to go on my hotmail page and it opens even when online a few pages and not opens full screen

    Trying to open my hotmail to my office screen and it will not open full screen I tried solutions for XP and Vista, but it did not help. And also some sites when I'm online does not open full page. It's a little annoying please help with a solution.

    How did your problem related to Windows Update?

    Close all but one of these small windows (Internert Explorer?). 'Catch' the corners of the remaining window with your cursor and 'stretch' up to size but do NOT maximize! Now close the resized window.

    The resized window MUST be the last closed window so that its size remember.

    Or you can install IE New Window Maximizer and forget it!

  • Windows to open full screen

    Windows xp pack 3 home service where can I find the setting to have the Windows Open full screen instead of having to drag the sides or by clicking on the button max.

    Thank you

    Three options.

    1: take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.

    2: any shortcut you use to launch the window, right-click, and select Properties. Under the 'Run' drop-down list, choose "expanded".

  • Game does not not in full screen

    I have a Windows 7 operating system and1600 x 900 screen resolution.
    I downloaded this game called Gunbound season 2, and it rarely works.
    The game is supposed to go full screen on startup, but it doesn't. After that I run the game, the screen goes black.
    Then the screen reduced on my desk, and nothing happens.
    When I try to implement my game once again, it shows a black screen and then reduced to a minimum on the desktop again. I don't know what the problem is.
    Is - this problem of the game or my computer problem? If this happens for this game, sometimes also for other games.
    Can someone please help me solve this problem?

  • My msdos program used to run full screen in Windows XP. Now, it occupies the upper third of the screen complete with the rest with scrolling and black.

    My old program MS - Dos ran full-screen in earlier versions of Windows, including earlier versions of Windows XP. Because of something in one of the updates is now the top third only in mode full screen, with the rest of the screen black, white and scrollable (as the Windows XP version of the command prompt has always been).
