How to stretch or scale a windows to fit resolution height and width sizes?

I'm playing a game in windowed mode, unfortunately my screen is huge 2560x1440 or something and the game window is tiny. If I use fullscreen it blows up and looks atrocious. I just want to enlarge the window by 2x or 3x.

I'm using the windows magnifier option but moving my mouse around makes the screen zoom around unusably. Is there a way to just magnify one program/window and fix it?

  • @TomWijsman - IMO, Same question: "I need some software to stretch or scale a windows to fit resolution sizes." vs. "Is there a way to just magnify one program/window and fix it?", even if the accepted answer doesn't quite match this case 100%, there are others to check and consider. But hey, that's why it takes 5 to close. :)

  • It might help if you're more specific about the game - certain rendering engines will choke and die even if you have some other way of doing this. I know Diablo II is impossible to enlarge without modifying it, for example - you can't scale it internally any other way and I'm under the impression zooming it causes the 2D drawing mechanisms to act weird.

  • @Mark - Well that explains the lack of resolution-shifting support. Something that simple you can probably get by with a zoom app (I unfortunately don't know of a universal one for Windows that behaves as desired, but I see you have a neat workaround at least)

Mark mentioned:

I set 'magnify follow' to follow text insertion.

Since my game doesn't have any text insertion the screen doesn't move around. Yay.

  • The game is from 1996, it has a resolution of really tiny. I want to make it bigger.

    Thanks, but that's not a good solution for me at the moment, I need the rest of my computer.

  • Well I call it a game, but it's more like a book... It's a visual novel. Thanks for your help though.
