Gaming Fullscreen

I've been playing games like CS and Frets on Fire now since i got my computer
(about a yr ago) and all's been well until recently all my games are opening
as a small image on the screen not in fullscreen and i cant enlarge it any
way. ive tried changing my resolution but i didnt do anything.
HELP!! :S

Computer specs? Make? Model? Video Card Model? Audio Card Model? Monitor
model?

There's a setting in nVidia cards that makes it so if you are running a
game in a resolution lower than what your LCD supports it won't zoom the
image to fill the screen.

If you're on nVidia, look for the nVidia control panel, there should be a
setting in there for zooming in when displaying lower resolution images.

That's a guess, without your hardware info i'm not sure whats going on
exactly.

Try changing the resolution in game to your native LCD resolution. Don't
change the desktop resolution.
