I am having problems playing games on my laptop computer because the game
screen appears in only the center portion of the screen. I have played this
particular game in full screen before, but now I don't know why I can't
change the screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Jeff

Is it a Dell laptop? Try pressing Fn + F7... If it's not if you let us
know what laptop it is that should help narrow down what's needed to get it
to stretch - typically a key press, or something in display options.

I tried the tip that you gave me, but it didn't work. I do have a Dell laptop
so I don't know what else could be wrong. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried double-clicking the title bar on the game? Or, right-click
the icon or listing for the game itself and select Properties. On the
Shortcut tab you'll see an area for Run: where you will have options for
Normal window, Minimized or Maximized.

Hi Jeff,

Sometimes all that is required is to hit ALT+ENTER to get back to fullscreen.
