    Hey guys, Im trying to play world of warcraft on my Satellite p205 and for some reason i cannot get it to go full screen, it will only play in a window with all black surrounding. Anyone know how to fix this by any chance or can I not because i only have integrated graphics?

    Most likely, its because youre not playing at your native resolution.

    Try going into settings, and set the game to your notebooks native res. ;)

    Yeah. If the resolution doesn't match the one of your desktop. You will get black bars on the top and sides. :D Just make the resolution in video setting the same as your desktop!

    You can also look in Nvidia control panel and check flat panel scaling options to make sure use nvidia scaling or use my displays built in scaling is enabled.
