I had no problems playing these video games on xp: Call of Duty, WOW, GTA: San Andreas, and a few more that i can't think of off the top of my head...

Now i install the games on windows vista and when i play them the screen is tiny...The actual game in the center and only taking up a small box shaped section of the screen. The rest of the screen is black.


Anny help?

my gfx card: Intel(r) 82945G Express Chipset Family (yea i know... ill upgrade as soon as i get some money i can spend...)

Thanks
~Ca$h~

*EDIT
Problem solved
I went into my gfx card properties and selected full screen

Well ya... I can't play wow w/o my gfx card crashing every 2 seconds which is BS cuz it doesn't crash when i play half life 2...

Hopefully halo2pc will make gaming on vista a little more enjoyable...
