• User account control interrupts applications full screen

  Programs to auto-update the user account control has a tendency to arise and minimizing applications full screen such as movies or video games.

  Hi Bob,

  This behavior of user account control is by design, and you can change it by adjusting the parameters of the UAC.

  User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.

  By default, UAC is set to warn you as soon as apps try to make changes to your PC, but you can change how often UAC notifies you.

  Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

• Download games is not full screen?

  I just upgraded to windows vista have a download game called Navy full screen will become not. It lags and stops working every few minutes or so and although the screen around the game window is black, the game occupies only a small part. What can I do to fix this?

  The black part of the screen means that the game runs at a different resolution to your desktop. You can either set for your parts of game your resolution of the office or you can try and find the option "turn off the aspect ratio" in your settings. If you do this, however, your graphics card will look funny and tense, but it is your call to make.

  Regarding the game Crash, I really don't know anything then I'd go to their forum for any problems with crashing. What you can do, is make sure that your DirectX is up to date, make sure you have the latest .NET framework and also ensure that all of your drivers, especially for your video card, are updated.

  Good luck.

• Stop menu bar to appear while in an application full screen.

  I am running 10.11.5.

  Does anyone know how to stop the menu bar from appearing when, in an application that runs full screen? If I move my mouse to the top of the screen, it raises the bar of drop-down menus and become visible in the application.

  This completely defeated the point of run the application in full-screen, as it is impossible to access anything whatsoever to the top of the screen without accidentally trigger it.  Thank you.

  No, this is not possible. But if you add a second monitor to your iMac, you can be "menubarless".

• Windows 7 full screen games and desktop applications losing focus and stealing discussion questions

  NOTE: The updates at the top of this announcement, the original message is less than.

  UPDATES: here are a few updates and new information that I have gained since the original publication.

  Registry settings

  After doing a lot of reading, I found some registry settings that appear to solve some of the problems I see. All three were found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> Panel-> Desktop

  ForegroundLockTimeout: Has been reset for some reason any. I removed the key and restarted, but he is back to zero. This is why I looked at the default value of 200000 (decimal) and set it. After that, he stayed. \

  I saw two other keys HungAppTimeout, WaitToKillServiceTimeout, and WaitToKillAppTimeout and all have been set to zero. I deleted these registered.

  I have no idea what set these registry keys to zero, but after being put into default, I can now click on an application full screen reduced, and he returned immediately. I can still lose focus in full screen or desktop app, but not as often as before and now he is usually just badly behaved apps stealing focus rather than seemingly random events.

  I wonder if there is a patch that has changed these values, or a settings option that does. From what I read, they are sometimes twisted to allow faster restart and stop servers.  I don't have a software that would be while and manually set their and none have the people I know. One of them has confirmed that their box also has these set values zero and has no idea why.

  I hope this information is useful to other people with odd focus problems.

  ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS *.

  I have a problem in Windows 7, which at first I thought a number of different problems, but I am more convinced that they are all connected.

  All of them started to happen around the same time - late January or February after a Windows Update - and largely the same or very similar issues affect 3 of my friends and co-workers running Vista and 7. Unfortunately my notes on the update happened while the time are missing, but all 4 of us have seen questions start at the beginning of the year in the January/February calendar, which makes it seem like they should be linked.

  NOTE: There were a few minor problems before even with the update, but nothing like what happened in early 2011. I had problems to update with Vista and 7 alone, but they were rare and sometimes fixable with registry hacks or it was an offending program, something did not like Aero, etc..  The questions below got a lot worse in early 2011 so they appear together in this post.

  I will describe each problem separately and the affected BONE and the symptoms, and I hope that some can make sense and help me solve the problem. Major problems first, then a few small problems and measures that I took to the to check follow after. Sorry for the long post, but it's a maddening problem affecting many people, and I want to be as complete as possible.

  Games not switching and the apps full screen #1: if I'm in a game fullscreen and I go to the office, it is very difficult to go back. If I click on the taskbar icon, nothing happens. I have to click on it repeatedly, often a dozen times or more before the application full screen or game is restored. It is most often with the games. Full screen I don't want not maximized, I mean where a program takes the entire screen. Games is easier to reproduce so far have all I currently use the question and variances in how it is difficult to come back in full screen are not significant between them.

  Apps full screen #2 focus lost: this happens especially to my friend running Vista, when you play the game full screen. She will play something like the Lord of the Rings Online and she loses the keyboard focus and the mouse, but the game is always full screen. Usually the only way that she can solve the problem is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the Task Manager, which for some reason solves the problem and she can return to the game for a little while that. I run Windows 7 with another couple of friends and we can also see this question, it is much less common. Changing an old mouse seems correct for Vista for some reason any. 7 that it happens rarely, if hard to duplicate to see if changing the mouse would help. In any case, will and against a beautiful new mouse laser mouse is usually a horrible option.

  Office applications #3 lose focus: it affects two of us under Vista and 7. We will be typing in chat, email, anything... and the foreground app will lose focus. What catches there that is impossible to determine. In my case, I can occasionally see a taskbar popup button and then disappear immediately, but I have never been able to track it down. Running in safe mode or boot seems to have no effect on this, or disable all services, extension and program but by default Microsoft in Windows 7 and Vista. Its almost like a Microsoft program is to do. Also, even though I mentioned the taskbar icon appears briefly from time to time, which cannot be bound: it does not always coincide with the loss of focus and is not always present when the focus is lost.

  #4 desktop applications lose keyboard focus and the mouse: it's like the number #2 above, but happens at the level of the office. Unlike the #3 that the window does not lose focus, it is always in the foreground, but keyboard and mouse stop working. It is usually impossible to move to another window. Just like #2, the solution that we have so far is to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to switch to the Task Manager, which temporarily solves the problem. ALT-tab through windows does not work.

  Here are other minor problems that may or may be linked, because they seemed too much to start with.

  Switching away applications full screen takes more time: Windows 7 on my machine, switching off games full screen takes more time than he did in the past. It was a minor issue in autumn 2010 and became much worse early 2011.

  Some windows lost focus while being re-size: if I take the corner of some windows for re - size, sometimes the re-size operation stops until I release the mouse button, as if he has lost the focus. Color of the window indicates usually focus however is still there, and grabbing the corner once again we will move me a little more. It may take several tries to get the window size as I want, as the re-size operation closes several times before I release the mouse button. This affects only 2 of the 4 people I talk so much that I can tell from our conversations and shared between Vista and 7. Both of us have Logitech mouse it might even be a driver problem, but using a mouse cheap test has not fixed the problem with me.

  Firefox: Firefox repeatedly will "dim", where Aero makes the window lose color to indicate that the application is not responding. It didn't happen before January 2011 for any version of Firefox.

  Concrete results to track down the problem:

  I ran programs like WhatHang and others who are trying to catch the programs that are suspended, stealing focus, etc.. Hours of testing found no results except that Firefox crashes frequently. Disable Firefox doesn't solve all the issues however, so I guess that its not related.

  I tried booting safe and clean, and they have had no effect. Secure boot is rather useless since I can not usually run programs that show the problem more easily. I also tried turning off everything except what comes with Windows 7, and it had no significant effect.

  I tried to use a different mouse. While it helped a bit with one of my friends, it only helped me so far. Different mouse drivers do not seem to help either. I also tried various nVidia without significant information acquired or corrective drivers.

  I also ran through various other ideas here as the race of the file system scanner and so on and not found any problems with my system, and where I could help my friends do and they also found nothing of note with maintenance and verification tools.

  My friends and co-workers: most of them are not local to me, so my focus of their issue has been rather limited. The main thing that we all have in common is that we had some minor problems in the past, as in 2010, and they've all got a lot worse in early 2011. Unfortunately none of us kept of records accurate enough to indicate any special updates that might have caused it.

  In any case, I apologize for the log message, but this issue emphasis is maddening. Its become a frustration serious then I thought to post information on the problems which seem related would be the more useful approach.

  I am a graduate of comp-sci systems and a companion systems programmer, and I have tried everything I can think of to debug and isolate problems, symptoms, etc. and had no chance. My friends are usually illiterate computer so that they are even more perplexed and frustrated by this problem. In my reading the forums, I see a lot of Windows Vista and 7 discussion questions, but rarely a lot of details, and when a problem is identified, it this far does not apply to me or my friends.

  I am happy to provide any other details I can.

  Updates:

  I forgot to mention that I have a Setup dual monitor. Aero seems unhappy with it, a lot of flicker when switching to full screen in games and other applications. I guess its because a single display off Aero while the other has it we or maybe not accelerated. Remove the second screen does not solve the problems I see, but I mention it in the interest of further development.

  I want to just chime in that I see similar (but not exactly the same) behavior and time seems to match as well. Among the updates must have messed something up. I forgot my Cardinal never update rule anything :/

  In any case, I have a few specific questions all problems related to full screen/window/input. When you play the Witcher, when you look at, if the mouse touches the edge of the screen, it stops, thus giving a very narrow range of angles I can watch from. Baldurs gate, as soon as I hit any key, I can't click on anything whether (and what I typed does not appear). Looking for police 3 (dosbox) it works fine until I hit a key, and then the mouse bounces oddly around the screen. If I alt - tab, in these 2 cases to last and go back, the problem is solved until I have a button again. In the case of the Witcher, if I alt tab and click the icon to the taskbar, it seems this problem, until I have a press.

  And I'm sure I had none of these problems a few months ago. I have tried everything I can think :( I tried the registry settings, but they do not seem to help.

  Edit: Oh, almost forgot. Whenever I click on full screen on an online video, like youtube, it appears in the background behind other windows, and then I have to click on it in the background to bring it forward. Very weird. Not sure if it's related. I'll try to change my video drivers... So boring when everything was working fine a few months ago.

  Edit 2: Do not take into account my post, I had a program called synergy race (usually use a mouse on multiple computers at the same time). Apparently, he was the problem.

• 860 - 009na: the monitor turns off during access to / applications change full screen

  Hello

  I got a new computer packed with the HP Envy 32 inch monitor. I am running on an issue that is simply irrating and I don't know how to solve it.

  Basically, the screen is empty. It is not a hard lock or whatever it is, he decides just during initialization more applications full screen (IE, a game) or even post Win10, connect, when computers are like "flickering" during the swap, the screen just turned off. This can be resolved by switching on the monitor input channel, or put the monitor in standby and distributed. On these occasions, I get sound through the screen.

  So appearances, the screen continues to receive entries from the computer and because of switching the monitor off and on again, it display image as expected. This is a case where the monitor is simply decide that it does not want to display the image for reasons unknown. Such as energy conservation.

  I updated the graphics card, provided I got most up to date display driver, double checked the connection... it just happens.

  It feels like it some really boring affecting somewhere that makes the screen, and I really want to change it. For the moment, it is a rate have to turn on the screen and two times just to get the start menu, then if I insert a game, he does even once, when I leave the game, does it again. It does not occur when a game that supports the windowed mode - without borders is loaded (I guess because it is not 'true full screen').

  Thus, it seems to happen during this process to set full screen.

  Well, there is another cable that I was not in the box titled "DisplayPort".

  So I changed my HDMI cable to use this one. The monitor works perfectly now... so as a workaround, this solved.

  But the question remains, why the monitor was so weird when using HDMI? It might be marked up as a potential problem.

  Hello

  If you would please provide details on the game you play?  Also, have you tried to hit F11 and attempt to place the game in Mode full-screen.  In addition, check with the OEM of the game to check if there was an options in the game to use Mode full screen.  I hope that this information is beneficial.

• Get games running full screen on Windows 7

  Last week, I bought this new Toshiba satellite laptop. It has Windows 7. None of my games will run full-screen. I've never had any problem with them my other computers or XP or Vista systems.

  I have W7 Home Premium.

  I'm just sick of trying to understand this. The only solution after it is simply to return the new laptop and buy a used one that works on Xp or Vista.

  If there is someone who could help me, I would be eternally grateful. I am so angry with this. I am the owner of a gambling site and none of my games 33 will now work with the Windows 7 program.

  Thanks in advance for your time, and I really really appreciate your time and your help.

  Hi Tmiller2008,

  What are the games you play?

  Are you trying to play the games online in mode full screen?

  If you download the games and install them on the computer, you can try to do it in compatibility mode and check if it helps to play games using the full screen.

  Make older programs in this version of Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  Also, if you are these online games and you use Internet Explorer as your web browser you try to use compatibility view as some of the ancient sites are not compatible with Windows 7.

  Why some sites Web not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer?
