Step 1
There are special methods that allow you to run old games by expanding the image to full screen. First, try adjusting the settings for the game itself. Run it and open the settings menu. Find the submenu for adjusting the screen resolution and graphic effects. Find the item Widescreen or "Widescreen" and activate it. Restart the game.
Step 2
If there is no such function, then try to write the necessary code yourself. Create a shortcut to the exe file that you open to launch the game. Click on it with the right mouse button and select "Properties". Go to the "Shortcut" tab. In the "Object" field, add the line / widescreen or –widescreen after the file name. Try entering these commands inside and outside the quotes. Run the shortcut each time to check the image parameters.
Step 3
If these methods do not help, then try updating your video card drivers. The standard software of some video adapters is originally designed to work only with large format displays. Go to the website of the manufacturer of the video card you are using. Usually these are resources www.ati.com, www.nvidia.ru or www.asus.ru.
Step 4
Open the download menu and fill in the table so that the system can select the software for the desired video card. Be sure to specify the correct operating system you are using. Download the latest version of the proposed software and install it.
Step 5
Restart your computer and try launching the game. If you are using a laptop, then make sure that the video card is running at maximum performance mode. In power saving mode, some applications may not start correctly, which may affect the image settings.
