screen stretching compaq armada 1573 (640x480 on 800x600lcd)

i have compaq armada 1573D, windows 95osr2.5, newest video drivers, but i cant find any option to stretch the screen if its too small (for example if i try to run game in 640x480, i have big black borders, becouse its 800x600 lcd)
after hitting Fn+T font and video quality degrades a lot... so is there any other way to stretch the screen? video card is Chips and Tech. 68554 pci (2mb). there is no such option in setup (which i have to run from disc, hitting F10 does nothing.) or in advanced tab under windows.

Are you saying when you go to display in control panel and select 640 x 480 it doesn't reset to that size? If you've gone to advanced and selected change without re-boot it should change and ask you to okay it.

it changes the resolution to 640x480, but then its smaller than my screen - i have very big black space around the square that is 640x480.

I don't know about compaqs, but toshibas have in bios an option to strecth screen to match the size.
Or whatever it's called But it will stretch the screen when it's too small (usually something else than 1024x768)

Check your bios.

On one desktop machine I use (which uses W98SE), it has an ATI card. If I had this same situation, my setup allows me to adjust the height/width manually, via ATI software.

Right click on the desktop,
open the display properties,
click on advanced properties button.

Along with the normal Windows tabs, I have 5 extra tabs, all put there by ATI drivers.

One of the tabs allows me to adjust width/height:
Display tab, above the monitor icon is the word 'Monitor', it is on a funky shaped button... click it, and adjust away!


Maybe your setup allows similar changes?
