Scaling full screen

[vestoia]

I am aware that there are options in the HD Graphics control panel however these do not seem to affect games weirdly enough. If anyone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it then I'd love to hear how you managed it and hopefully it'll help others who see this too.

Please explain more, what do you mean by scaling full screen. As on my Vision, and Linx 7 clone, everything is full screen.

I.e. When I play a game like Starcraft 1 which has a resolution of 640x480 as it's limit i get black bars on the sides of the screen. However if i set my desktop resolution to 800x600 (another 4:3) resolution I dont get black bars. If I try and play any game aside from at native resolution i get black bars wherever they would go (letterboxing for 1280 x 720) but again on my desktop it just stretches

If choosing Scale Full Screen isn't doing it for you then all I can suggest is to run the game windowed which can make the option work.

There are programs to make windowed programs borderless and although I remember reading something about a borderless mode built into Windows 10 I haven't looked into it.

You could check that scaling is set to 100% because I read other levels can cause game problems.
Press the Windows key (or click the Windows Start button on screen)
Press Settings (which is immediately above Power)
Go to System and then to Display
Check that the Change the size of text, apps and other items is set to 100%.

Personally I don't use stretch as the relatively weak Intel graphics needs all the help it can get, so I prefer to run games in the same 16:10 aspect.
There's usually a way to set one by editing a file with notepad when not available through an in-game option.

Tried windowed and that does seem to work for me so thanks for that
I think it might be starcraft that's causing the problems though since it's so old
as morrowind works fine in windowed borderless. Thanks for the help guys
