Thinkpads Forum

Hello,

I'm not a game-maniac (since a job/wife/and a couple of kids does not combo well with gaming), but I wanted to start a couple of older titles - Football Manager 2007, Airline Tycoon and similar.

The problem is, as I turn on these games which are all 1024x768 or less resolution, instead of stretched image I get a framed one. Now since I've got no options in both catalyst control center and windows I have abso-diablo-lutely no idea how to make it work.

I've got a nice T60p bought here on the forum with V5200 (X1600 drivers installed).

I'd be grateful for any help.

EDIT:
I have a 10.2 Catalyst; also there actually IS a "scaling" option under "Basic Settings", but it is not being saved after reboot.

Go into BIOS and look for an option called "HV Expansion".

It's set as "ON"

Anyone?

consider yourself lucky, framed is way better! Stretching is pretty nasty.

Alternatively buy a 1024x768 T60 native screen and install it. Done. Native resolution without artifacts.

So, after you change it - it works (image stretches to the full screen), but the problem is that a reboot resets it? Is that the issue?

Running a 800x600 application on 1600x1200 screen looks awesome.

And 1024x768pix LCD in 15" T60 is just killing the main reason why to run this laptop - awesome screen

dr_st: I have such option only in basic settings, and after several tests I've found out that it resets not after reboot, but after few minutes.

I'd try to bump the problem

Since there is no answer and I still have just the same problem, i'll try to revive the topic.

I was trying a gazilion of different drivers, reinstalled the system 20+ times and still see no solution. Come on, there is plenty of users having their T60p's and with WIN7 on board; I cant believe that I'm the only one with such problem.
