I hate the way my new Inspiron 9300 Display Looks!! HELP PLEASE

[IndieMatty]

It's either too stretched out, or way too small (icons/text) I'm not well versed in this. I really need help. Dell customer support is really frustrating. I am 90% sure that this is a setting or something and not a hardware issue.

The biggest problem, is I cannt maximize any poker rooms screen. Depending on my settings they only take up a certain portion of the screen. I just want to view in full screen.

Is this possible?

I'll reply to this with the setup of my machine.

Thank You for any help you guys can offer.

-Matt

Right Click -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> DPI = 96

[IndieMatty]

That's what I have done, what should my resolution be? No matter what settings I have I cannot maximize the screen. I see "DUAL MONITOR" in my display options, but it says "2" is not active; is this an issue?. I'm getting pissed!

Thanks for the help.

[mikeyvegas]

What is your screen resolution set at? If you want to four table to it should be set at 1900 x 1200.

[IndieMatty]

Thanks Mike, I set it to 1024 X 760 for noe. Right now I just want to play one full table, on one full screen?

I cant adjust any window sizes on the poker tables.

[mmbt0ne]

Can you normally? I've never been able to resize a Party/PS/Prima/UB table.

[mason55]

You can't change the size of the pokerroom windows, so there's really no way to get it full screen unless you change your resolution to 800x600

[IndieMatty]

Yeah! I can on my old PC (Windows Me) so thats it? The screens are these sizes and you can't change them (w/o changing the resolution?)

[IndieMatty]

Oh [censored] that sucks. Thank you. I'm really used to seeing the full screen.

[mmbt0ne]

They're 800x600 all the time for me. Maybe it's something to do with XP vs. ME.
