Reduce display size (damaged screen).

[Srengam]

Hi all,

our son has damaged the bottom of his screen so the bottom inch or so is all black now (unfortunately where the icons are for games etc).

The screen is an old 19" 1280x1024, is there a way to force windows 7 to display a letterbox 1280x768 so the top and bottom sections of the screen aren't used, until we can get him a new screen?

I've had a play but the screen seems to auto adjust to new settings and stretch the images so to speak.

Thanks.

I've just tried but the only settings available for the screen are to shift up/ down and left/right, but shifting up moves the top of the display off the screen.

Is there a way to force games to a window, instead of using a full screen?

I've just done a quick google and found this:

I'll give it a go later when he wants to play his game.

Thanks.
