| you can always try...
just a note though and this seems like a good place to post this:
if a game has specs like 640x480x256colors or 800x600x256 colors like Starcraft broodwar you may have to go into your graphic properties and change it to stretch instead of center in the screen..
i have an intel 965 graphics card and it had centered screen as its default setting...
change it by:
right-click >graphics properties
display settings > aspect ratio options
change to full screen (no border)
it stretches the game to full screen instead of rendering it in 640x480 in the center of the screen which is like 3 inches by 4 inches or so.. |

| | You may need to use compatibility mode in order to get older games to work correctly (Right click program file, Properties, Compatibility Tab...). Good luck!
