Posting this for people to discuss their gaming experiences: Maybe we should have a separate thread? Do we already? Anyway... I will attempt to use my External 500GB USB3 as I don't think even my 32 GB expansion slot will be enough for some games. Need to get a 64 Anyway. :mad2::in love::crazy:

On one of the threads someone showed a screenshot of WoW running on the Pro.

I have some issues getting games to display properly and I was hoping someone could help me out. I installed Wizardry Online and when it starts up the game appears in the center of the screen with a black border around it. Only about a quarter of the actual game displays in the center of the screen. Alt+Enter does nothing. When I go into desktop mode and reduce the resolution, I get that black border around the screen. Any ideas?

Update: The default sizing is 150%. By reducing it to 100% I am now able to see the entire picture when the game starts but there is still a black border around it, it does not maximize to utilize the full screen.

Have you tried changing the resolution in the actual game?

I should have mentioned this with World of Warcraft before. The game started up normally, but the screen was completely non-responsive. Eventually the screen 'zoomed' in and I could only see about a quarter of the normal screen (which of course didn't include the buttons and fields I needed to use). What I did to fix it was to go into the properties for the EXE and choose Compatibility Troubleshooter. Eventually I got it to work by scaling down the DPI on the game and it works fine now. I think that World of Warcraft (and other games for that matter) might have difficulty displaying on a real 1080p display (at least on the 10.6" screen)

Would you be able to provide any more details on these steps? I am hoping to play some older games on my Pro so am likely to experience similar issues. Any descriptions would be most appreciated.
