Why are large graphic games so small on my laptop screen?

I’m running XP. I can’t change the screen resolution, either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like your running in 640x480. If you cant get out of that rs you should prolly make sure that your laptops video card has the most recent drivers, which you should get from the computer manufacture.

Well I’m trying to run Vice City, and the computer resolution is 1024x768, but VC won’t allow anything beyond 640x480.

Maybe this TechIMO discussion has the answer. I have no firsthand knowledge of the game or its interface, but I do know how to search the web.

Thanks anyway, amore, but you might want to read the posts above before posting that link.

Ah, found my answer. Please close the thread.

Why not answer your own question before asking that the thread be closed?

Was it something simple, like Function-F8?
