thebum06: I don't know if this works for games as well, but in the intel control panel under the media tab there is a menu called "Image Scaling" that allows you to stretch images and video. I haven't tried it for games though.

langurmonkey: I think it is for pictures only.

langurmonkey: I want to make it so resolutions lower than my native resolution get stretched out to fill the screen when I play games.

Psyringe: Which games are we talking about, and what's the resolution of your screen?

DOSBox and ScummVM games can be adapted to any screen size, but you probably know that already.

Modern games should have options to adjust the screen size.

For other games, DxWnd might be useful, though you'll see the window borders and title bar when you use it. There's another tool which allows to force games into borderless windowed mode, but the name eludes me at the moment.

Personally, I can access scaling option in the nVidia driver, but it seems from your description that the Intel driver isn't as sophisticated.

mistermumbles: Frankly, I don't even understand why anyone would want that to happen. Stretched graphics always look hideous.

Arkose: You should be able to do this by opening the Intel graphics panel and going to Display Settings > Aspect Ratio Options and choosing Full Screen. This will then stretch the output to fit the monitor, rather than maintaining the aspect ratio.

You'll still need to set a suitable resolution inside the game that's compatible with your display, of course.

kalirion: Doesn't your monitor do this? My monitor has two settings in the menu - aspect correct and stretch to full.

My laptop has Intel 4500mhd, and in the control panel scaling settings only show up when the desktop is at a non-native resolution.

langurmonkey: I don't have a monitor. I have a laptop and you are right. The scaling settings only show up when the desktop is at a non native resolution. Thanks for sharing with me the solution to my problem. :)

darko84: time for a new card man.
