Movies on Laptop

hello friends,

When I watch movies on my laptop they always display in a very small screen? My screen resolution is 1680 * 1050. I used to see movies bigger than this on my PC that has a screen resolution of 1024 * 800. What is the problem?

What program are you using to play movies on? Have you tried other programs? Have you tried changing the resolution on your laptop to 1024x768? Are these movies fullscreen or widescreen?
