Stretching screen..

[Steel_Stallion]

So I've got a laptop with a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express chipset family.

My Laptop Isn't the strongest of laptops and its not really a gaming laptop (At ALL) but I still like to occasionally play some games like Counter strike, wc3, Fear combat etc with friends.

Problem is, for some of the more needy games I like keeping the resolution at 800x600 or 1024, to keep my FPS from flopping. While my computer desktop runs at 1280x800.

See the thing is, I want to set it at 800x600 but then I just get a tiny little screen, that I suspect is even smaller than the resolution.

I'm not explaining this clearly, basicly I want to play games at a lower resolution than 1280x800 which my laptop runs and stretch the screen to fit even at the loss of picture quality.

I've checked all the graphics options, the only solution I found is actually lowering my entire PC's resolution (Desktop) to a lower resolution which makes the game stretch to fit. But its annoying doing that back and forth before and after I play games

It's just your laptop on my desktop with low resolution it automatically stretches any game to fit unless you have it set to run windowed.

Thats the point, it does not stretch. It stays 800x600 and there is a large black border around it.

And setting it to 1280x800 lags me in some newer games since my Laptop can't handle that Resolution while keeping a good frame rate.
