Still the black border

When I play games like Mircosoft pinball, Starcraft, etc., the game window stays small with a large black border around it making the graphics in the game window too small to play. Sometimes the game window runs normally, however, this is rare. I have a Dell inspiron 4000 with Windows xp. When I press the Fn and t keys they do not seem to toggle the window. While I am on this subject, does anyone have a list of the Fn functions for this computer as I do not have an owners manual. Thanks : (
 
Hi robert,

I found listings for user manuals for your computer! :-)

I downloaded the help me files that Dell solutions had, however, Dell solutions did not have any solution on my black border around the game windows. Can you still help me :(
 
Hi Robert,

I don't have a Dell, sorry. :*( If the information isn't on their website,
just shoot them a quick call and ask them. It's the Quick & Easy way. :-)

Otherwise you might try different display resolutions from control panel.
