The Nancy Drew games (at least the three I have played) run in a fixed resolution of 640x480 or 800x600. They use pre-rendered video and bitmap graphics, not 3-D hardware, so any other scaling is limited to what your graphics card can do to adjust the resolution. I run them on my laptop in a window, I find that less jarring than having the large borders and it leaves me room to keep notes in another window.
