After I visited two major tech support forums and got no real answer, I came across this forum and I hope you guys can help me out.
The problem I am having is with the graphics chip of my (hopefully soon to be) retro gaming laptop, NEC Versa 6200MX. When I play games, the screen doesn't scale and there are black borders all around the screen. Anything smaller than the 1024x768 simply does not fill the screen. There are no BIOS options either to enable full screen scaling nor there are any in the driver options. Then again, I am not sure if I have the correct driver for this laptop.
Here is an image that explains the problem a bit better than my poor english:

Now imagine 320x200 on a 1024x768 screen.
EDIT: I found a way to fix this!!
wrote:Just In case anyone might have a problem like this in the future, I've solved this problem by using a program called VEXP http://www.dil.u-net.com/vexp.htm
This program activates full screen scaling on Chips & Technologies 65550 and 65554 GPUs. I installed it by placing the VEXP.com inside windows folder and adding VEXP M2 to autoexec.bat and I can confirm, every dos game is now a proper full-screen on my NEC Versa 6200MX! There are still minor black borders on 320x200 resolutions.
