Play a flash game full-screen
Most flash games (casual games that open in your browser) assume you have a small monitor with a resolution of 800×600. If you have a higher resolution monitor, the game might be really small in the middle of your screen.
With Internet Explorer 7 (either in Windows Vista or Windows XP), you can zoom the game in to be almost full-screen (after the jump).
First, open the game in Internet Explorer and maximize it to take up the whole screen (try pressing Alt-Space, X). Press F11 to make Internet Explorer full-screen. Then, hold down the Ctrl key and press + repeatedly (Ctrl-+) to zoom in the flash game until it takes up the full browser window. You might need to scroll up or down to center it horizontally.
To zoom back out and make the game smaller, hold down Ctrl and press -. To zoom back to normal, hold down Ctrl and press the number 0. Here’s a game to try it out on:
