1920x1080 Gaming (Remove Black Frame) by panais[_9_]
Tested and works with ATI RADEON If you get a black frame around your screen when setting a game in resolution 1920X1080p just follow these simple steps... Open Catalyst Control Center, click on Basic-"Setup My Display Configuration"-Go-Set Desktop Area to 1920x1080-Finish-Yes. After this when you start the game in 1080p you don't get the black frame.

The other games (texas poker, solitaire, free...

enable direct3d acceleration by doubtingThomas
Hi everybody. I recently discovered that my direct3D acceleration is listed as "not available" when I look at it in dxdiag. This has caused me not to be able to play many games which require it.

3d Pinball Space Cadet by Jezzie
I see this game is no longer included with Windows. (I have Vista Home Premium.) Will this game work under Vista? If so, where can I download it? If this won't work with Vista, does Microsoft have anything similar I can download?
