If you right-click the game icon and choose "Run As Administrator" to start the game, are you able to adjust the check mark?

There are a couple of suggestions to try for this problem mentioned on the Steam forum.

You'd need to type in the name and password of an account with Administrator privilege. If you are using an online Microsoft account, I don't know how to deal with it other than to go back to using a local account.

But see if the instructions described by "Gwydion" at Marian's link work.

dear jenny100,i tried to adjust to,(640x480),as marian's link
says,from the steam forum,but this solves no more then 75% of
the problem,the width of the game screen,is 100% good,it covers from edge to edge,the problem is with the height,first
of all the taskbar is fully visible,plus this game has a blue
frame all around all sides,the only feature,when i set it to
(640x480),the frame from the width is off,but not the height
the best thing to find some solution,to remove the check mark
i still hope you will find something.
i thank in advance

If the problem is that the game is horizontally stretched, that's because it's pulling a full screen image to fit a wide screen.

If your monitor has option to preserve aspect ratio, choose those, and you'll get black bars at the sides of the screen but the full height of the screen will be used.

What model monitor do you have? The setting to maintain aspect ratio may be called scaling or something else depending on the monitor, and may be buried so deep within the monitor settings that it takes less time to search the manual for the monitor.

Video cards may also have the option to preserve aspect ratio.
If you have a laptop, you'll probably have to check video card options and see if there is an option for scaling or preserving aspect ratio.

I downloaded a manual for the S211HL from Acer at
http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
There is a Control called "Wide Mode" that appears when you have the wrench icon selected, and that seems to be set to "Full" by default. It's possible that can be changed from "Full" to something else, but I can't tell from the manual.

However "Xenox" in the gaming.stackexchange forum said changing the "Wide Mode" adjustment will adjust aspect ratio for old games.

Press the menu button, then press the < / > buttons to navigate to the settings tab, and adjust the "wide mode" setting.

Another user in the same forum uploaded a picture of their Nvidia options showing where they can change aspect ratio. So it's possible your Nvidia card has something similar in its settings.

dear jenny,i played around on the monitor controls,and i got
the "Wide Mode",setting,by default it is set to"Full",thats
why wide mode,must be set to full,because this is a wide screen,and to keep it this way,it must be set to full,so the
wide mode has 2 settings,the default is"full",the other is
"aspect",and when i set it to this,the screen shrinks,left and right sides,by 4 inches,so i end up with a small monitor
and this is even worser,so as i said before,we must find a way,to remove the check mark,listen i have at least 50 games
plus,allmost all of them,never gave me this kind of a problem
i assume that maybe with the video card,we can do the same,
but its no good
i thank in advance
samuel

Maybe the "aspect" setting doesn't scale the image on your model monitor. Maybe it only shrinks the screen to the exact number of pixels (using 640x480 out of 1920x1080 would be only about 1/7 of your screen area). It's possible there is another setting that would expand the picture to fill the height of the monitor while maintaining aspect ratio ( i.e. - without stretching the image sideways), but I can't find it without fiddling with the monitor controls myself (and it might not be there anyway).

Since adjusting the monitor isn't working, I'd suggest checking the video card settings. You may be able to adjust settings for an individual game in the video card settings. I've never done it this way, so someone else might be better able to help you with that.

i wrote a email to GOG,also to REVOLUTION,i told them the problem,they both responded with the same answer,this game
before instalation,i must put the resolution to 1024x768
then install it,i did so,and now when the game starts,i have
3 options,"full screen","original",augmented",i checked the
"full screen",option,now it works fine,the game runs in full screen.
