[The Fifth Horseman]

thanks, but that doesn't really help, I want the game to play in a window, but I want that window to be larger (I don't really want it full screen with all the black around it.

Switch output to ddraw and scaler to normal3x.

I think I might want the window resolution, but I am not sure that the output device supports it as it doesn't seem to be resizing the windo except for teh smallest amount

The surface output doesn't support a lot of things. That is why I recommend using overlay or ddraw instead.
