| Thank you. You helped me get to a solution. My laptop
| is using nVIDIA. When I went to the settings for Digital
| Flat Panal Options within this software, there was an
| option that allowed Display Adapter scaling. Once I
| selected that option, I got a larger screen size for the
| lower resolution games. I still had to play around with
| the compatibility settings for one game, but now I have
| everything working.
|
| Thank you!
