Solved Windows 10 problems with my screen resolution

What is the native resolution for your screen and what is it set on? Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

It is a 23 inches monitor and it is set at 1400 X 900. I ddn't want to set it higher although it can take much higher resolution.

I assume that is less than the native resolution (which would be the normal setting)? If the games are ancient then you could try DOS box. Otherwise I can't see any way around this without increasing the screen resolution when you run those particular games. I'm a bit surprised if you are running them directly in Win 10 that they are too large. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Well that is exactly my point...It is like as if I was looking at my game thru some binoculars and I was only able to see the center of the interface... So annoying... And the recommended resolution for my monitor is 1680 X 1050.

What onboard/video card are you using? This will tell you, if you can't find or don't know. Scroll down to Video. Free PC Audit http://www.softpedia.com/get/System... http://www.freewarefiles.com/Free-P... http://www.freewarefiles.com/screen... http://www.misutilities.com/free-pc...

No, I didn't need any of those utilities. Mine is a Intel(R) Q35Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0) That is what is says in the device manager under Display adapter...

Have you tried the Intel Auto detect, to make sure you have the correct drivers? http://www.driversinstaller.com/int...

Yes I have but you know what? Problem is solved. I just reset the resolution to the default settings and the game works perfectly!! How simple and/or silly.. ahhh computers... Thanks for your time.
