I like having it in window mode so I can browse the internet while the game loads day-to-day but I like being able to see everything and can only do so in full screen mode. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out.

I just went looking and found in one of my other games a alternate way of correcting the screen size for laptops. However there is a catch - in order to work it requires command lines px0000 py0000 to be written into the command line switches and I don't know if that has been done with this game.
The advantage is you can put nearly any vertical or horizontal value in and the screen will accept it The bad is you then potentially get some really weird looking screens and have to go back to the command lines to change them to a readable size. Just so you know my laptop is px1600 and py900

Maybe one of the mods or developers can answer if the command line switches are modifiable in this game. There are plenty of good reasons they wouldn't do this - so don't get your hopes up too high.

*** also I just saw the pix, I did not put the - sign in front of px and py so they should look like this -px1600 space -py900 ***

Third option - As I'm reading this I see your recommended screen resolution is 1366 X 768 - try 1200 X 768 or 1200 X 800 resolutions, as Sebastian noted the games minimum resolution is 1024 X 768. The py768 changing to 800 will affect the vertical width and the px1200 will be the horizontal height which puts you between the minimum resolution and your laptops recommended resolution.
