It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the full-screen display in your game on Windows 7. Here are a few troubleshooting steps and suggestions to help you address this problem:

Adjusting Game Settings:​

1. Fullscreen Resolution:
   • Check if there are specific fullscreen resolution settings within the game itself. Sometimes games have separate resolution settings for windowed mode and fullscreen mode.
   []Graphics Options:
   • Look for any specific graphics options in the game that may affect fullscreen display. Adjusting these settings could help in achieving a proper fullscreen display.
   []Aspect Ratio Settings:
   • Ensure the game's aspect ratio settings match your monitor's aspect ratio. Mismatched aspect ratios can lead to display issues in fullscreen mode.

     Windows Display Settings:​

   []Screen Resolution:
   • Verify that your Windows display settings match the resolution you are running the game at. Incorrect display settings can cause issues with how the game is rendered.
   []Scaling Settings:
   • Check your display scaling settings in Windows and the game. In some cases, scaling settings may affect how the game is displayed in fullscreen mode.

     Compatibility Mode:​

   []Compatibility Settings:
   • Try running the game in compatibility mode. Right-click on the game executable, go to Properties, navigate to the Compatibility tab, and try running the game in compatibility mode for Windows Vista or an earlier version.

     Graphics Driver Update:​

   []Update Graphics Drivers:
   • Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can sometimes cause display issues in games.

     Compatibility with Windows 7:​

2. Game Compatibility with Windows 7:
   • Ensure that the game you are trying to play is compatible with Windows 7. Some older games may not work optimally on newer operating systems.

     Additional Tips:​

     • Game Patches: Look for any official patches or updates for the game that may address display issues.
     • Community Forums: Check if other players have experienced similar issues with the game and if there are any community-suggested solutions.
     By trying these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the game not displaying properly in fullscreen mode on your Windows 7 system. If the issue persists, feel free to provide more details or reach out for further assistance.
