Re: expanding game windows ???

If you don't get an answer here you might try
microsoft.public.windowsxp.games

If you are using a 32bit edition of Windows XP keep in mind that this is not
an XP newsgroup. As its name says, it a 64bit Windows newsgroup that
focuses on 64bit issues in Vista, XP Pro x64, 64bit server editions, etc.

Hi Ted,

Just grab the edge of the window and drag it to your preferred size.

Or, click 'Maximize'! Due to the format of the FC game area, this one will
not expand sideways.

Many MS games can switch to full-screen as well (not FC, though!) - usually
[Alt+Enter].

Re: expanding game windows ???

I found a solution in an eariler question that was answered by Chris H. from
an old question in 05 about another game..I right clicked on the blank screen
and clicked on properties, then opened the settings and changed the
resolution, it is real big now..Thanks to all for your help..
