    Hi all;

    I just bought Acer Aspire 5920 (with Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator X3100 ... no Graphic Card). Now I have few games that I used to play on my old Acer Aspire 1640 (which I still own). The problem is some of the games appear in smaller screen frame on 5920 instead of full size screen frame as they did on my 1640.

    My screen resolutions are same as that of 1640 [also the screen size (15.4")] Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Thanks !

    It could be a scaling issue, which I had with the 5920g and the nvidia 8600 GT card. In the nvidia control panel is an option for scaling (it was a screen attribute). It was using a scaling which made my games appear within a smaller window, so I checked the radio button to have no scaling - and it solved it.

    Your problem sounds similar - have a look at the X3100 control settings and look at any scaling/ratio configurations you can adjust.

    Thanks Rotter; I didn't find scaling option but there was a ratio option which solved it.
