Several older games' picture & video not stretching & smoothing in full screen and/or window modes.

[tadams587]

Several older games' picture & video aren't upscalling properly in full screen window mode; regardless of settings in Intel Graphics Software app with-in latest Microsoft Windows 10 builds or windows  11  OS. Several of them are forcing the same smaller image size with out stretching,  with large black borders surrounding the small image. 

-older rpg maker engines

- games built using older direct X 5 - 7 (jpn/en) and/or Windows 95 - Windows 2000/ME

-older Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables

-games built using direct X using 8 - 9/10 (jpn/en) and/or Windows 95 - Windows Vista

Of such games that do upscale in full screen and/or full screen window modes are now displaying jaggies without smoothing out the picture on legacy games like they used to; when using compatible hardware & software: P-core only intel CPUs' gpu (intel 11th gen mobile & desktop Cpu or prior), Nvidia's 4000, 3000, 2000 rtx mobile & desktop gpu or prior, latest k-lite codecs. While a few of them are now even showing jaggies with no smothing dome in window mode as well.

A handful of such vintage games are showing a blank window when displaying video in the in-game window, a few less older games as well; even with the lastest k-lite codecs installed with legacy components set on.

On the latest windows 10 builds and/or windows 11 some older games are freezing and/or crashing when in-game animations play or in-game scene changes to another, while other vintage games either aren't launching at all; while using compatible* (above)  intel hardware/firmware,  nvidia hardware/firmware, and/or k-lite codecs.

* (At least the components were previously compatible, but now needs more updates created by devs for customers to apply patch fixes.)
