Hi, Just wanted to say a belated thanx to Jeff whoever you are.I had a laptop problem that I posted ( message 117135 ) in October and although I checked it for answers for awhile I guess I didnt check it enough.To fix original problem I finally did a system restore and all my games played full screen until a couple weeks ago when they started playing in small screen again.I went to the site search to research this problem and came upon my October thread and read it all the way thru and low and behold the last reply was from Jeff ( by jmintampa ) and he had the absolute fix that I was looking for!All games are restored to full screen again.Thanx Jeff! Take care everyone!

thanks for thanking and let us know you fix your pro one thing you missed did you post back and explain how u fixed your problem? PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU FIXED YOUR PROBLEM THANKS

This is Jeffs post which fixed my problem.It is from XP message 117135 which I started in October of 04. Name: Jeff (by jmintampa) Date: October 25, 2004 at 18:09:29 Pacific Subject: Laptop screen size Reply: I have a Dell 9100 as well, didn't notice I hadn't put the plug in, so I was playing a game on battery power. Needless to say, it got critically low, and auto-hibernated. I plugged it back in, came out of hibernate, and restarted my game - was in a small screen. I have the ATI 9700 128 MB card, FYI. I hunted for a solution, then found it: Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced, then the Displays tab, then click on Panel, which is the only one that should be on. There should be an option at the bottom called "Scale image"; I checked this, and I'm back to playing in full screen. Yay! Thanx again Jeff!

thank you PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW YOU FIXED YOUR PROBLEM THANKS
