This is my problem, too. I have an HP laptop with Windows 7, and I don't know anything about what drivers or stuff like that I have, or even how to find out. I used to run this game on Vista and it displayed fine, but running it on Windows 7 gives me the "black-box syndrome." I tried manually changing the setting in the .ini file as shown above but it didn't help. Should it be "AllowWindowedMode=0" and "FullScreen=1" instead?
NWN 1 Windows 7 (Laptop). Display Problem; Reduced Screen Size.

Hi All,
I have a special solution for the notebookers, especially for the Intel chipsets. This great game (NWN1) can and do run perfectly on my X61 ThinkPad now :-)
I had it as an installed version on my desktop PC (Windows 7, 64bit, ATi 5450HD), and it was perfect.
The difficulties came when I was trying to move the installed game directory to my notebook.
The game itself was updated to 1.69 prior that.
When I ran it on the ThinkPad, I got the 800x600 box, or full screen with no menu visible.
I ran circles on the forums looking for help, but I didn't find any.
The problem was that the nwconfig couldn't detect the video card correctly - but it is NOT a driver issue in this case. I managed to run it with ONLY the following changes:
- you need to change to your desired resulotion the values of both the nwn.ini and nwconfig.ini
- you need to change the refresh rate ALSO!!! - it was in my case 50 (with 60 in the value I had the problems).
After this on the first run it was fullscreen and 1024x768 :-)))
Hope it helps to you too.
So on the desktop I had 1280 x 1024 resolution and the X61 had only 1024x786.

I forgot to mentoin that after you moved/copied your directory to the notebook, you have to run the updater at least once to restore the version information - altough it will fail downloading the update - it doesn't matter.
After this, you should edit the files as stated above. And never run the nwconfig - or do the tricks again by hand after that.

For NVidia users who are wanting to play this game on full screen at a lower resolution and getting the thick black borders and no image stretching, I've found a solution for you (and myself)! This will probably work similarly on AMD (ATi) cards as well, but I don't have access to a system with the Catalyst Control Center to know for sure.

^ Screenshot.
-Open your NVidia Control Panel.
-Go to "Adjust desktop size and position".
-Scroll down to "2. Apply the following settings:"
-Ensure you're on the "Scaling" tab (this was the default tab for me).
-Under "Select a scaling mode:" select "Aspect Ratio".
-Check the box next to "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs".
Enjoy playing NWN at FULL screen without those annoying black borders (and no eye strain trying to read tiny text)! If someone has a similar solution for the Catalyst Control Center for AMD (ATi) cards, post it to help others out!
