I installed these games I had in my old laptop, they worked fine since my old laptop's screen was 1366x768 my new laptop has a 1920x1080 screen and when I open them the screen lowers its resolution, usually at 800x600 it looks big and blurry the game won't go into fullscreen and I can't play it cause the screen looks off. After I close the game all the other windows I had open become smaller, the font looks small too I have to close them so they look normal again. I can only play these games if I manually lower the resolution before playing the game, is there anyway to fix this without having to change it every single time I want to play?

(maybe you can't see it here cause it's a capture but the screen is stretched)
 
Look to see if the onboard gfx has an upscaling option to resize the game to fit the screen.

It may be that even this wont help; if the game is badly written - as so may are, it wont use the display drivers correctly and nothing will help.
