Hi,
have read some threads, but none did help.

I have win7 x64

The game is starting already in win xp sp2.

I would be happy with 1024 x 768, also if this means a worse graphic.

thanks
Is it showing up in a small box on the screen?

You need to find the options in your video card driver for "scaling". It should be set to scale, preferably maintaining aspect ratio. This will allow the image to be stretched to fit the whole screen.

The instructions on how to do this differ between AMD & NVidia. I'm sure you can find the instructions on Google (at least for the English version) or tell us what graphics card you have and maybe somebody can help here too.

I've played through first chapter this way and it seems nice. Artifacts like pixel trails are not very noticeable. Just try it and decide if that's how you want to play.

I have only an Intel HD graphic chip on my business notebook. but in my freetime I use it for playing sometimes ;)
(I have an XP notebook too). Sure, no fast 3D games. But Wings remastered is working well , for example.

At the graphic options is noted: keep the scale

I can try this, later. But I have not understand correctly. Is the larger scale fine or not?
Bei mir funktionieren auf Windows7 64bit zwei Varianten (englische [2 Cds] und deutsche [DVD] Version).
1. Schon das Setup mit Kompatibilität XP SP2 ausführen.
2. Oder nachträglich: Kompatibilität auf XP SP2 und - mit Ausnahme der ersten beiden - alle Häkchen setzen.

Das scheint von GOG schon so gemacht zu sein, denn da ist XP SP2 und zumindest der untere Haken so gesetzt, dass ich die nicht mal entfernen kann.
Das Spiel läuft ja..habs auch auf Deutsch hinbekommen. Nur ist es echt winzig.
Das "Bitte warten" erscheint dann in der Mitte vom Bildschirm. Das Spiel oben links
Dann wird die Skalierung das Problem sein. Die lässt sich bei mir auf dem Notebook mit Intel HD Grafik auch nicht ändern.
Also bleibt nur über die Grafiksteuerung der Intel HD Grafik (Display-Allgemeine Einstellungen) die Auflösung auf die geringste dort angezeigte zu ändern. Geht das denn nicht?

Intel graphics are fine for TLJ. What other options are there besides keep the scale?

Sorry I don't understand German well enough to read the other posts. Google Translate is not working well enough either. :(

It is fine for me. I've played through first chapter and I think this way is way better than default 640x480. You can actually see 3D models in some detail.
@tomjones99: Das Spiel oben links

Wenn das Spiel links oben erscheint, kann es auch daran liegen, dass es im Fenstermodus startet.
Kommt auch bei anderen Spielen vor, zum Teil schalten die während des Spiels in den Fenstermodus. Deshalb dann meine zweite Variante, bei der auch visuelle Designs und die Desktopgestaltung deaktiviert werden. Ich denke auch nicht, dass du den Gog-Installer im Kompatibilitätsmodus ausgeführt hast, deshalb ohnehin die zweite Variante.

In short in English:
If the game starts on the screen top left maybe it starts in window mode.
Other Games sometimes have the same problem. Solution then is to disable also visual themes and desktop composition.
