I bought about two years ago a recondistioned Toshiba satilite Pro. (Its a pii 697Mhz).

Its normal screen size is 1028 by 768. Whenever I drop the screen resolution to a lower res (Down to 640 by 480), It doesnt make the screen full screen, just only uses the centre of the screen to that resolution. (That is if I make the screen 800 by 600 I get 114 black pixels at the top and 114 at the bottom etc). Any res Bellow 640 and its full screen

Its not realy been a problem as Ive just been using it as a server/Alarm clock/Media centre conected to the TV. But its starting to annoy me. I want to play (say) Lan diablo ii, all the person stuck with the Toshiba gets is a really small screen in the middle of the display.

Now the computer has all the last drivers for it, its running Win XP Home, and I cannot at all figure out how to make full screen proper full screen. Any Ideas?
