i just checked..i have driver version: 8.15.10.1930 So I think these are the latest? In the Intel control panel I have the following options:
1) quality 2) resolution 3) refresh rate Nothing about 'scaling' options. I do notice that my monitor shows up as "Generic PnP Monitor". I wonder if that is an issue? My 'monitor' is actually a Sony HDTV (Grand Wega 50 inch). Do you think that is the issue...I need to tell it what monitor type I have??? It's weird, like I said, because if I use the SAME tv and SAME Mac Mini but boot into OSX instead of Win 7, then it scales fine to the fullscreen during games. thoughts??
