I've tried a million different suggestions found online but nothing seems to work, the game window gets scrunched to the right lower corner of my monitor regardless of what I do. I'm not even going to list everything I've tried because it would take me forever but suffice it to say that I've just given up at this point and will play it on my ancient XP laptop.
