Hiya Neelloc and  :welcome:


If you goto...

Control panel then Display then click the settings tab and you can adjust your screen resolution by dragging the pointer.


You can also stretch your screen dimensions by using the buttons on your monitor if that's what you meant .


Hope that helps   :thumb:

If it wont allow you to increase the colour and the screen resolution (pixel size) then the drivers for the graphics card may not be installed or may need updating, let us know if you can adjust them or not please  :)

A quicker way to get to the display settings is to right click on a blank part of your desktop and then left click on properties, this will open the Display Properties window, then left click on the Settings tab at the top right  :)

There should be buttons on the front of your monitor, with various settings to stretch, centre, change brightness & contrast, etc, but usually, you shouldn't need to change these.  Can I ask why you wanted to change the screen resolution in the first place?

If you only want to change the screen resolution for the game, you might not want to adjust the monitor settings too much, or it will all need resetting when you change back to your usual screen resolution, unless, of course, you are going to leave it as it is set for the game.  When you play the game, it should fit the screen OK.
