• 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

  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?

• Use all displays full-screen will only clone, not extend

  I upgraded Tech Preview in July when asked last week.  Before the update, I had two working in two different Windows 7 computers virtual screens.  Since the update, view, use all displays full-screen will only clone, extend to the screen.

  It happened when I originally installed the Tech Preview as well.  In this case, I managed to toggle putting forwards and backwards and it started working.

  When I look to the customization of the display under windows it only shows a monitor and it does not find another when I click on "Detect".  I am able to use views independently under MacOSX.

  It is the Lion of mountain, MacPro, Late Model 2009 22 GB of memory.

  What should do?

  Thank you

  Ah ok.  You use the value of the experience of the user as an indicator of video driver problems.  Also, when you suggested, update the video driver you just wanted to make sure that the latest VMware tools has been installed.  Ok.

  Had already checked those things and I had used the menu VMware to reinstall the tools.  Value of my user experience was 4.7.

  In any case, it seems to have been a problem with the tools VMware install because after I followed the instructions to manually install it here: VMware KB: installing the VMware tools on a Fusion VM running Windows, making a repair, everything's fine.  My video driver also shows a date of July 2013 now.

  Thanks for your reply.  He helped.

• Run full screen automatically?

  My Captivate simulation should be run full screen. Rather than having a page with links where the learner can click, links must be integrated into a PowerPoint presentation (I know, I know, but that's what they want). My client wants to avoid having Internet Explorer window open with a "click here... full screen" link. I don't know no way to put this in a PPT file, so I wonder if anyone has done the IE window redirect the version full screen with a code to redirect (or something) to automatically run the simulation mode full-screen. (Phew! That there any sense?)
  
  Thanks in advance!

  Hi LJezsik and welcome to the forums!

  Full screen in the browser is available by opening a new window (where the "full screen" link) or incorporating it in an ActiveX control custom.

  I would exclude the ActiveX option, since it is both technically difficult (I saw it done once, but don't know how) and only works for Internet Explorer in any case.

  This leaves the new approach of the window. A redirect is not an option... the "full screen" cannot apply even if a window is first opened, and even in this case only when the window is open in Javascript.

  The best you can hope is to open a page that opens another page in full screen, immediately adding some verbiage to the first page that says something like "content has opened in a new window. It's safe to close this window.

  An example of the "autolauncher" page is included below as an example. It does not use the 'full screen' setting of the window.open() method because it is open in IE6, which doesn't seem to give the user a way to close the new window once. You can easily change this by setting the parameter to yes in the code below.

Sometimes I can click off on the side and separates the text and I can read it but when I use the scroll of the mouse or even the scroll bar on the sideit happens again and again.

• Some game programs won't open full screen.

  I have a wide screen 22 inch and Doom3, Tiberium Sun, Armada2, etc won't open full screen. I have set myself properties to optimize, but still have the same problem.  Doom3 and Armada2 fill the screen from top to bottom, but there are black bars on the left and right of the screen.  Sun of Tiberium works well, but it is centered in the middle of the screen.  I updated to Windows 7 and this seems to be my only problems.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Some of the games probably do not support widescreen and your screen resolution.  The basic rule is defined at each game to run at the resolution of your screen.  Probably of 1920 x 1200 or 1440x900ish, or somewhere along those lines.

  Sun of Tiberium goes up to 800 x 600.  Doom 3 out of the box only also has options for 4:3 and only widescreen with some custom options (more here on the configuration of Doom 3).

  If you open the menu of the monitor should be options of fill, aspect and 1:1, or something in that sense.  Barrier will extend some image to fill the entire screen, look to stretch, but don't exchange not aspact and 1:1 ratio shows the game in any resolution that he uses.

• How to make files/programs, etc. to open full screen

  Somehow, most of my files/programs/etc have opened in a small window.

  Don't know what I did to cause this, and I don't know how to open it in full screen.

  I'm tired of having to "Maximize" everything when it comes to the top...  I want to expand at its opening.

  Can someone tell me how to proceed?

  I'm going crazy...!

  Assuming that you have not configured for open programs from Taskbar Start, restart and open only a program that needs the resized window. He reach and close the program. Restart and open it again. Is - this full screen?

  I've only used Win 98, XP, Vista, 7 and 10 and he has worked with all these versions.

  When you try to view full screen videos, I get a message that Adobe broke down. I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe and using current versions of Firefox. This problem doesn't seem to appear with IE.

• IPAs run full screen on an iphone6 +.

  Tried everything but so far without success. Get the black borders on the sides. Tried all the @x 2, @x 3 stuff I guess. Change the settings of launchScreen, added depentent of files, no luck. Otherwise, everything is correct, functioning on the iphone 6 +.

  For applications to be full screen you must include the right splash screens. This article, while aiming at AIR apps, should help to understand which ones you need:

  You can right click on an empty space in the toolbar and set a tick on hide toolbars.
