Sharp TV not letting me do Full Screen Topic

I am unable to view RPG Maker 2003 games in full screen with my new TV.

I just got myself a new Sharp TV "32- Class. Model:LC-32LB261U. My PC is connected by a VGA cable. When I run an RM2K game, I get a TV prompt that says "unsupported mode." I get out of full screen, and my PC is normal again. Window mode (smaller screen) is fine, but full screen mode is better and faster.

Note: Applications that do work on full screen: Spelunkey, ZSNES, Touhou, NNNester, NEStopia (does not.) Star Stealing Prince (does.) Everything I tried in AV input (game consoles) all work.

Methods I tried:
-Pressing view mode on my remote from "wide" to "normal" mode.
-640x480 screen resolution and running in 256 colors in compatibility mode.
-Calling a Sharp TV phone representative (I even asked the rep. where I could search next for my inquiry. She had no possible lead.)

I want to be able to play RM2K games in full screen. Any help will be appreciated.

It's probably the game changing the signal to its native res (320x240) and the TV not supporting that display mode. Your best bet would be to change the resolution you're giving the TV to 640x480 then hitting... F5? in the rm2k3 game which will give it a x2 nearest neighbor scale to make it fit the screen. There's probably a more elegant solution but I'm drawing a blank right now.

I pressed F5 when I am in full screen. Nothing happens. When I press F4, I get large window mode. From there I hit F5, and I get the small window mode.

I never knew the native resolution is 320x240. That is interesting.
