I have a laptop and I was trying to run this game, but in the process the game froze and my laptop wouldn't restart or turn off, so I took the battery out. Now when I started it up again, everything looks big and stretched out. How can I remedy this? It's very irritating to look at everything all stretched and wierd, any help would be appreciated.

If you wanted to turn off your laptop without taking out the battery, you could press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds. This will cut the power and turn of the computer.

As for the size of the screen, you may need to update you graphics drivers and reset the display properties to the correct resolution. It maybe that the graphics capability of your laptop isn't enough for the game you are trying to play. In other words, your laptop may not have the system requirements that the game needs to run.

[right-click desktop > properties > Settings tab. Screen resolution can be adjusted using the slide bar. Make sure the Color quality is at it's highest, eg 32 bit.]
