Problems with Steel Beasts onmy notebook

[Eliminator]

Hi guys!

I have a small trouble with Steel Beasts on my notebook : with the standard 1024x768 resolution the game works in a small window..... it's a pretty hard to shoot at 4000 meters with this small window! the strange thing is that the game perfectly works on my other PC with a 1152 screen resolution and the same Windows version (Win XP)

what he means is that the game hasnt the same size than the screen (whithout being minimized...) on his laptop.
So there is a big black area around the game..I saw it, and think its the sreen resolution, any idea to resolve this problem? put the 640*480 resolution would work?
edited>>> there is no 640*480 resolution, and go down resolution has no incidence with the game size while running...
Any Idea?

In the display properties, try lowering the resolution to 16m and then see if 640*480 becomes available.

no way to only lowering the game?

Usually it's a BIOS setting, or something of a notebook-specific graphics card driver. Your notebook currently doesn't use interpolation to inflate the image to the full screen size. The benefit is that the image remains sharp - but small. You may want to contact the tech support of your notebook manufacturer (or consult the manual) to find out how to activate the interpolation feature for full screen display.

Hi Eliminator

Sean helped me with that one the other day. I am on a Dell Lap top, and suddenly it started to show SB in a small window. Under Seans advice i was trying to find the setting in the bios but no luck. Then he told me to look on the hardware options that usually can be selected from the keyboard of the laptop with special Fn key. The key i dont fully understand is Fn + F7 which reads "Fuente", that can be either translated into English like font or source. When i pressed that combo of keys, the screen went back to normal, that is 640 X 480 filling all the screen of the laptop. I hope it is as simple as that to fix it. Regards
