I have DD and just installed it on my new 64 bit HP dv7. The computer has a 17.3 inch screen and when I play the game the screen only occupies the center of the screen. Is this a resolution problem, do I need to do something to the computer's resolution or is there an ingame option to make it take up the whole screen?

Thanks
 
yes it is a widescreen laptop. I don't know about aspect ratio however, where would that be located?
Right click your mouse on with the cursor on the "desktop". This should bring up a little window where you should be able to choose something like "graphic properties" or "graphic options". If so, try graphic options >> panel fit >> maintain aspect ratio. What terminology shows, of course is dependent on what graphics chip/driver you have. But I remember I had a similar thing when I got my lap top a few years ago; it has a 17.3 wide screen and I think setting it to use "maintain aspect ratio" took care of it. The choices I have are: maintain aspect ration (this does center it but I only lose about 1" on each side, nothing on top/bottom), centered (this centers it on all sides and is really too small for me), full screen (stretches it out too wide so that it is a bit distorted). Hope this helps.
