Full screen on laptop
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2006 6:04 pm
I'm having difficulty getting Exult to run in full screen mode on a laptop. The lowest supported resolution available through the graphical options in Windows is 800x600, though I have been able to run some 640x480 programs in full screen with little difficulty (but to do so, I need to use a dos emulator).
When running Exult, the only way to initiate the full screen mode is through turning the resolution up to at least 640x480. If I try to lower it again at that point, it stays in full screen, but the resolution itself doesn't actually change--it just creates black spaces on the edge of the playing window. Does anyone know of a way to allow my laptop to run programs in low resolutions--particularly at 320x200--without using a dos emulator?
I also have the same problem with older games such as King's Quest VII and Gabriel Knight I (cd version)--they both run fine in windows, but there is no apparent way to run them in full screen without an emulator, which then reduces the speed to a crawl.
The laptop specs:
Toshiba Satellite M45-S269
Pentium M Processor 740: 1.73 Ghz
512MB SDRAM
100 GB HD
15.4" WXGA display screen
WinXP
