Do you have your monitor set to its native resolution? My 22" monitor is set to 1680 x 1050 and the picture in Haunting at Cliffhouse fills the screen except for 2 narrow black bars on the left and right sides.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Screen Resolution and see what it says there.

Hi All,
Yes it's set to native resolution which is 1920x 1000 and I did all the things you suggested and it still shows as a 5" inch sq. box in the center.I hate playing games like that.
Thanks for the help. Any other thoughts?

Hi Jenny 100, No, that makes things smaller not bigger for some reason. Could it have anything to do with running google chrome?
Thanks

You won't be running Chrome while you're playing the game, right? I have Chrome on my computer, but it doesn't have anything to do with my games.
EDIT: jmdsmd1, I let Ghostlady at Mystery Manor know. She is the developer of the Cliffhouse game. I don't know if she will be able to help, but perhaps she will have some ideas.

DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled Could this be the problem? I don't know enough about laptop settings (the M15x is a laptop, right?) to know if this is similar to scaling on a monitor. Anyone else who's more familiar with laptops know?

You've got me, Jenny. I don't know much about laptops either. I did find out that DWM means Desktop Windows Manager, so it does sound like that might be related to the issue.

Don't some of these games have window settings in their option menus within the game? Seems I remember some do and some don't.
But for sure, Chrome should not be open and running during game play.
