Hi, I've just recently bought SimCity 2000 and everytime i try to launch the game it stays in windowed mode, does anyone know how to make the game fit my screen or at least enlarge it.

I use windows 8 with 1769x992 resolution

Many thanks,
James

Use Alt+Enter or set in Graphic Mode Setup (you'll find the shortcut for this in game folder - "Launch Graphic Mode Setup").

GOG only offers the DOS version of the game and not the one for Windows 95. Only the latter is capable of real widescreen support, while the DOS version can only be stretched to fit or displayed with black columns on both sides.

To get the best out of your resolution, edit the game's DOSBox config file.
Open dosboxSC2000.conf in the game's folder with any text editor.

Set the following lines:

fullscreen=true

output=ddraw

fullresolution=1769x992

You can also set another scaler if you don't like the original edgy look by setting the scaler variable.
Default is:
scaler=normal2x
Here are the other scaler modes and how they look like:
