your video drivers are what allow the screen to scale the image, check the video cards software settings for that. all depends on the type of video card you have.

^^do you mean halo wars? cuz that looks badass! but i got it working on my 32" samsung tv hooked up via s-video, but the laptop display is still smaller. im not sure how to change it, i downloaded a program that allows you to change your resolution through a 3rd party program. my video car is an nvidia geforce go 6150. i kind of just gave up, cuz playing on my tv is much more baller especially with a wireless mouse and keyboard!
