Removing Black Bars for my full screen WarCraft3.
Warcraft III#
Yes, it is still my favourite computer game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Today, I still play the computer game during my free time.
It is a standalone/portable copy that shared to me back in 2006.
Sometime, we will get black bars, either left-right or top-bottom, in our full-screen game.
Game Display Ratio#
The most typical reason for this black bars, is the game and computer display have different aspect ratio.
For example, 16:9 game format on a 4:3 screen format, or 4:3 game-format on a 16:9 screen-format.
This also found in the case where an old monitor is used for modern game.
Full Screen#
Here is how we can fix it.
This works for Windows 7, 8, 10, 11.
- Start
regedit.exe. - Browse to
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration. - For each of the key (long letters and numbers as 32-bit value):
- Expand each key to the end:
\00\00 - Change
Scalingvalue from 4 (or whatever) to3.
- Expand each key to the end:
- Restart computer. (must)
And everything is good to go. Just start the game !!
