Hi

I have looked for a solution to this in my laptop running Win7 as i am tired of PS1 window only 10x12cm. The solution is to lower the resolution of the windows 7 desktop to as low as possible, - then PS1 will allmost fill the entire screen on the virtual PC.

Another variable is the native hardware-based interpolation used by the PC.  For example, I have an old HP laptop (ZT3000) running XP Pro, and it displays lower-resolution content at full-screen resolution.  In this case, the native resolution of my LCD screen is 1900 x 1200 (not sure of the exact resolution without booting the thing up).  Yet when I run PS1, it fills the screen without any effort on my part and without fooling around in Windows.  There are interpolation options in the setup parameters of the laptop that seem to manage this very much welcome situation.

I hope this helps.  If the PC or monitor do not have such native interpolation built in, I am not sure there is any simple solution.
Best wishes,
