    Hi! a few days ago i tried using the stamina mode and the screen was reduced to a smaller size. it didn't take up the whole monitor space. But while i was using it, i dont know what happened but the screen became normal. it became big (takes up whole monitor). How do I restore it back to the small screen?

    It was small? Maybe because you hadn't had the stamina mode vga driver installed?

    Disable the screen expansion in the bios.
    After that if you set the resolution lower than 1280x800, you'll see the smaller srceen with large black borders.......

    My screen is small every time I go into stamina mode. It's got those big black borders. I hate it. Can I make it bigger in stamina mode? How?
