Hello all

I am hoping you can help me with my problem. I am trying to play MM6 but it only shows in a small window and i have no idea how to make it full screen. Can anyone help me with this please? You will have to keep the instructions very basic (idiot guide) as i'm not the most literate person when it comes to pc's. I have tried looking up various solutions but they just go over my head as i feel they are too technical. I love this game and purchased it off GOG and would love to play it again. I even tried this below, but could not manage to even do this. Any advice or help is appreciated.

Cheers.

Peter

"My new build wasn't showing MM6 in full screen and I was feeling bad about it. This thread got me looking around the nVidia settings and I found it under Display >> Adjust desktop size and position >> Scaling Tab >> Select a scaling mode: Full-screen "

Can you tell us what video card are you using?
The example you have refers to Nvidia cards.

If you dont know. Right-click on your desktop and find the menu item that says something related to your dosplay control panel. Let us know if it's Nvidia, AMD or Intel.

Ok. Right click on desktop. Select Nvidia Control panel. Then try the following:
https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/124770

It has a screenshot of where to click.

Also make sure that "Perform scaling on" is done in GPU. Like in the screenshot in link above. In your case its probably set to Monitor so tou have to change it.

The reason it's still not full screen is because the game was originally designed for old monitors with a 4:3 ratio (i.e. not wide-screen monitors).
If you select "Full Screen" instead of "Keep Aspect Ratio" in the Nvidia control panel, you'll have the game fit to full screen, however the image will be stretched vertically,.
