game bigger than the screen?

riverman · 06-05-2003, 07:16 PM

I hadn't played BG in awhile, so thought I would install it on my new computer running WinXP. In the gameplay screen, the buttons at the bottom are just off screen. I can't read what they are. Is there a way to adjust the picture size to fit the screen?
Thanks

While in-game, go to the save screen, there you will the graphics buuton. Inside you can choose to take off the full screen mode. That's about all I can think of.

Hope it helps!

The Bg1 resulotion is extremly small, it's not a good sign if you can't even see it all...

Just wondering:

-New computer with new monitor
-Old program (BG1) with low screen resolution

Is it the first low res full screen program you ran on your new PC?
Could the solution be as simple that your New Monitor is not yet adjusted to fit the screen with this low resolution?

Try to use the buttons and menu on your monitor to fit the screen

Insane Bane,
You got it! I adjusted the controls on the monitor. Fits okay now.
I like simple solutions.
Thanks
