Answer:
Go to your Settlers 4 installation directory and look in the config folder. You should see a GameSettings.cfg file - open it with notepad. Scroll to the bottom and you should see: WindowHeight = 600* WindowWidth = 800* * Values may be different but it doesn't matter. Change the values to one of the following: WindowHeight 1024 WindowWidth 1280 WindowHeight 768 WindowWidth 1024 You can also TRY setting a custom resolution but it may or may not work. Then change the value of Screenmode (just a few lines above) to reflect the change: 1 for 800x600 2 for 1024x768 3 for 1280x1024 (and POSSIBLY custom resolutions) Save the file and close notepad. Right click the and click Properties. Tick the "Read Only" box and click OK

You have to change he resolution on your computer itself., if the game /s are very old then probably not compatible with a newer computer.
