The menu screens seem to be fixed at 640x480. My laptop screen is fixed at 1920x1200. It is set to scale lower resolution screens to fit, but, for some reason, MSFS blocks this behavior. Is there anything I can do to change this behavior so the start up and help and map screens are displayed either scaled to fit the 640x480 in the whole screen, or display the menus at a higher resolution?I am using a Dell D800 PentiumM 1.7 GHz, 1 GB mem with a GeForce 4200 Go chipset with 65 MB memory with 4.28.20.31.10 drivers.Thanks,Thomas Perry

BumpDoes everyone understand my question?

Yes, your 3d acceleration probably isn't working. Run dxdiag to check.Solution: Reinstall CHIPSET drivers, then GRAPHIC CARD drivers.Allcott

Thanks for the response. How is 3D-Acceleration involved here? The main (flying) window is fine, it fills the window no matter what resolution I select in MSFS. It is only the MSFS menu screens which are a problem.The system that I have is a Dell D800 with NVidia GeForce 4200 Go (Dell) chipset. Drivers are nv4_disp.dll v6.14.0010.6742 from 10/26/2004. This is the latest version available for this chipset from Dell. The standard drivers from nVidia's site do not install, I have to get them from Dell. The screen size is 1920 x 1200. Other programs resize the graphics fine. As noted above, only MSFS's menu screens do not expand.When I ran the dxdiag tests, the Direct3D tests all worked fine. I couldn't tell if the background filled the screen though since it was black, but it seemed to. The DirectDraw tests worked fine. Interestingly, though, when it ran the full screen bouncing ball test, the bouncing ball did not bounce across the whole screen, it only bounced within a box about half the size of the screen or less, though you couldn't see any borders as the background was black as were the borders. Could it be this chipset just doesn't support whatever functions MSFS is using to combine 3D and 2D menus together and expand them to the screen size?Following are the DirectX Components
