Full Screen issue with toshiba laptop

Hi again guys, for about three months my toshiba satellite laptop hasnt been full screening properly (and has slowed down ): ) When i click full screen in games like gmod portal halflife and terraria, it just stays the same size and puts a black border round the edge, is there a solution for this problem? And nothing major has happend to the pc, although i have a disabled brother who might have gone on the laptop and started doing random things, I really dont know what could have happend.this happens in all games that i try to full screen.

I'm assuming that you are on Windows 7 correct? It might be a problem with a driver or maybe even the Steam software.

What's your graphics card? It might be just the scaling settings, which is easy to fix.

0	go into Ntune or Catalyst control center (depending on your card) and set the scaleing to 'fit to screen' you answered Aug 28 '11 at 22:13 roguekiller23231 4.2k●72●104●142
