Can't get game to fit full screen

[Crow Hopper]

when you open up the game you have the option to choose resolution settings. I've tried every single one and I can still only play like a small portion covering my screen.....

Would be nice if you stated how you fixed it, just in case (like the above poster), someone else has the same problem.

You're right, I should have done so, but at this point, I've largely forgotten how to do so. If I recall correctly though, when you get ready to launch b-17 game, it gives you the option of what ( I don't know the proper terminolgy) but screen dimensions you want to use. I basically just had to painstakingly try all different option to see which fit my screen best. And then I wrote down my preferred version so I wouldn't forget. But as I recall, None of them really fit all the perfectly to my screen. Some objects seems to large while others were a little difficult to interact with. Again, I'm so computer illiterate that there's likely a simpler and more productive mode to fixing this error.

This game is 28 years old and therefore it's been developed for 4:3 resolutions.
Do there's no way getting it fit to Widescreen without having funny stretching effects.

I know that I am getting old but it is far from being 28 years old.

I uploaded this game to a new 17inch laptop. The resolution is 1920 x 1080. Now nothing I have tried will force it to run in full screen.

Odd thing is have been playing the game in full screen on a 15 inch laptop also at 1920 x 1080 resolutions. On both machines I run it it Windows 7 compatibility. Windows 10 home edition OS.
I have tried all of the graphics options available at startup with n effect....they all run in a small windows. LOL....I had a bigger game screen on the 15 inch! How frustrating this is...
SO....If anyone has a solution I would appreciate learning it....Thanks in advance..

BTW....I didn't have to do anything to get it to run full screen on the 15 inch....that was just how it played since first launching.

I just play it in an 8:4 resolution. I find I forget about the black borders after a while.

It's basically the same game like the original B17 flying forteress released in 1992.
They just made it running for Windows in 2000, changed the menus and gave it a new name.
