so what is happening is your game is trying to take say my 27inch HD display and show the exact same thing on a 13 inch display, so everything is now so small you need a microscope. it doesn't pick-up that it's a 13inch display and needs to be treated differently.

I have a related but not similar problem. I have my taskbar on the top of my screen, Microsoft products (& skpe) recognize that 0.0 is no longer the upper left corner but the left side just under the taskbar. so anytime I load ootp I have to move the taskbar to the bottom then back to the top to snap it into place properly.

fundamentally it is the same thing, either the OS isn't sharing the display information properly or the programs are not asking for it properly, if at all.
