due to the doubling.
What kind of a monitor do you have? If it's a CRT, just ignore this post...if it's an LCD/flatscreen...most of those are set to stretch things so that they fill up the whole screen, which makes them look pretty bad...
What you need to do to turn off that stretching would depend on what kind of a monitor you have...if it connects digitally, you need to right-click the desktop, go to properties, click the "settings" tab, click the advanced button, and then hunt around...where the setting is depends on your video-card, mine is under "*ATI-logo* displays"->'panel'->"scale image to panel size".
If it connects (like most desktop ones still do) with a standard analog monitor plug, you'll need to hunt in your monitor's menus.
When you turn off the stretching, it'll be less fuzzy, but it'll probably also be small, you can improve that by adding "-res 640 480 big" to your shortcut...or, heck, if you can't find how to prevent your monitor from stretching it, just put in your monitor's default resolution... eg "-res 1024 768 big", or on my wide-screen monitor, "-res 1280 800 big". It'll make ZC work a little harder to keep up, but you have a fast computer, right?
If you don't know how to add things to the command line under windows, just check out the topic on command line shortcuts, it gets answered a few posts down.

Problem solved, thanks so much. Changing the res didn't
make a difference in the size but now I can see everything!
It was that I have an LCD and the stretching.
Thanks again Verbatim,
