Game screem is too big - help!

[Identity]

So I bought the game a while ago and wanted to play it yesterday. Thing is, When I entered the actual game, the game screen itself was too big and I could see only half of it. I barely succeeded to exit the game, since I couldnt even see the option to do so. Is there a way to make the loading\game screen the size of my own screen?

Navigate to where your Bully game is installed, example path could be something like:
C:\Program File (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Bully Scholarship Edition

Find and right-click on the file named: Bully.exe

On the Windows pop-up select Properties. On the Properties window, go to the Compatibilty tab, check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and from the drop-down menu choose "Windows XP Service Pack 3". Alternatively, fom this Properties tab you could also try enabling the "Run this program as an Administrator" option. You could also alternatively try cehcking the options for "Disable Visual Themes" and "Disable Desktop Composistion". Check finishing your changes, click "Apply" and "Ok" buttons, then try your game.

Also, you could try having the Steam-client to run with Administrator level privileges too and see if that makes any difference.

Tried verifying the game's installations?
Steam-Client, Library, right-click on Bully, Properties, Local Files, Verify integrity of game cache.

Tried downloading and installing the DirectX 9.0c from MicroSoft yet?

After installing you might want to restart your computer too.

Some computers (laptops moreso) just aren't so good as running some games though, so in the end it could just be that your computer isn't able to run it properly. Anyways, good luck.
~~~~~~~~
Have your Windows, Graphic and Sound drivers up-to-date.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Close any other unneccesary programs you may have running in the background before launching the game.

PS: Here's a couple of threads with some other possible "fixes"
