Im using an inspiron 8600 and i have all the bios and drivers up to date before anyone suggests updating them for this problem.

Anyway, the problem is that a lot of times when I install a new program or game it never loads properly. I figured it doesn't look right because my screen resolution is so high but when I change it around the problem always persists. For example, this is a picture of a game I just got and how it is supposed to look  but when I run it, it looks like this  you can see how the background is compressed into a tiny square and the start button has 4 offset starts instead of one normal one. This happens with a lot of things I try and install so if anyone has had this problem or might know a solution then I'd appreciate it because it's a waste of money buying this stuff when it doesn't even work.
