I have a Toshiba laptop with vista but when ever i play a game it doesnt go to full screen, starcraft, for example is just centered and only takes up about a fourth of the screen. Its not a huge problem, just kind of anoying cause it makes it kind of hard to see. It didnt always do this, so i probably changed some setting somewhere... I looked around and i cant find any options relating to this, any of you know how i can fix?

My bro has the same brand of laptop and we can't get it to go full either, I've asked and people say the Run as and crap like that, but it's never worked for us..

Just here for the activity... well not really

My Toshiba laptop uses XP and it does fullscreen fine. Its probably a Vista problem.

Have you tried using basic troubleshooting, or configuring your system settings?

This isn't Vista's fault. What kind of graphics card do you have?
If you have an intel thingy, right click on your desktop and go to Graphics Properties, and find something with the option Full screen (no border).

I have the same issue on an old Toshiba laptop with Windows 98. Not that it bothers me, cause I never use it, but it's sort of funny that two other Toshiba laptop users also have the issue.
