How to adjust monitor to display this game properly?

[Kittenwarrior]

I've spent more than enough time trying to research on how to get this game to display properly. Is there a way to adjust this on Steam? Has anyone been able to figure this out? I got this as a birthday present an I am rather annoyed that I am unable to view this game properly, an it appears this is an often case an I am not alone.

I can't see the full game. No matter how I change the window size, half of the game is always off the screen. I figure it's due to being an old game.

have you tried seeing if your desktop scaling is above 100%? I had this problem with IL-2 (another old game, though not quite as old as Riven) and that is what fixed it.

For example, in the AMD Catalyst Control Centre, if you look to the left under 'my digitial flat panels' you will see an option for 'scaling options'. Mess with that and see if it works.

as i dont have this problome and have never had one like it it is hard for me to help.
try what forrest said that may work.
most windows pc you can also do this by right cliking on the desktop select screen reslution.
in that menue click "make text and other items larger and smaller"
check the box saying let me choice scaling

oh and if your talking about how the screen looks like a window thats how its supposed to look with a black border around it.
this is cused by it being a realy old reslution. if thats the thing your talking about tell me theres an easy fix for it.
