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].

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..
