Screen shrinks to half size when running games

Whenever my son trying to play games on his new laptop, the screen is reduced to half size. Its surrounded by a black border that is not part of the screen.

At first I thought that it was opening up in a small window but its actually shrink the entire desktop that the cursor will not leave the window and go to the black border.

Normal, Windows Vista, windows opens very well and are full screen, it just seems to be when it is installing games.

Can anyone help?

In the parameter sets go to resolution and change the resolution of your laptop (if you need help finding it, give me the model number of the laptop) might be the most likely cause. Probabbly the game is played in a 4:3 resolution.

  • Disappearing mouse pointer when running games in Win7

    The mouse pointer disappears when you run one of quite a few games under Win7 64-bit. I tried the obvious solutions of updated all drivers and Windows in the classic Windows theme (i.e. Non-Aero, Windows based), but no use! My rig is the following: Core I5; NVIDIA 460 (1 GB); Samsung 24 "True HD LCD display; Microsoft Sidewinder mouse; 16Gb 1333 Mhz RAM. I'm running my screen at a resolution of 1920 x 1080, but even tried lower resolutions with no joy at all. The text of the command / blocks in games still light up if after that manyu attempts you can accidentally an overview of the text, but still no pointer!

  • Y560 - problems when running games

    Hello world

    I bought the Y560 about a year and half ago and I was a proud owner since.

    A few days ago I formatted drives, then reinstalled Windows and since I have problems executing Battlefield 3.

    The problem is this: after a few minutes of play, the screen freezes and I can't hear a sound of "grrrrrrrrrrr" on the speakers. I can not give any command keyboard and can only force - turn off the laptop.

    I had no problems to run the game before you reinstall Windows, so I guess that the problem lies in a driver conflict, but how do I know which drivers are the cause?

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Vyksa

    Problem solved! It turned out that the problem was with the game.

    Thanks to you all.

  • Screen width of Simulator crunched when running the app

    Hello

    When I start first the simulator of the screen seems functional and covers the entire width, but when I run an application the screen width reduces to about 600 pixels.

    When I then close the application area of the entire screen appears to have adopted this new width and the only solution is to restart the Simulator.

    I specify the width and height in my apps:

    [SWF(width="1024", height="600", backgroundColor="#cccccc", frameRate="30")]
    

    No idea why this is happening?

    I use Flash CS5 and invited him to develop Playbook apps. I have the SDK installed and works.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Was a simple solution in the end.

    Changed 1 line in the XML file:

    portrait
    
    to
    
    landscape
    

    Don't know why I didn't see that earlier...

  • The decisive TDMS file size when running.

    I have a request where the .tdms file can grow very quickly, due to the amount of stored data - 7 channels of data acquisition in 50 000 samples dry.

    I want to determine when the file has reached about 2 GB and close the .tdms file and create a new one with a different/timestamp name.  I want to break these files due to portability problems.

    It is, how to determine the size of the .tdms file?  When I try to give the Sub - VI "to get the size of the file" the .tdms, a GPIB controller file path must be in error of the charge occurs.  Also, the refnum of the tdms file is not the same as the file refnums, so the Subvi "get file pointer" will not accept the PDM refnums.

    I could probably calculate somehow what is happening in the PDM file, but that seems to be a workaround and will not exact due to the header information.

    You can't get the size directly from the refnum file, but you can probably still get the size another way. Use the file/directory information of the pallet of Advanced File i/o. It takes a path as input, not a refnum. This should give a specific semi file size value, although it will be possible that there is data to cache that has not yet been emptied to the file. Yet, when you talk about the file sizes in the range of 2 GB, it should be close.

    It is roughly the same thing that I look in Windows Explorer as the TDMS file size expands as it is written.

    Hi, for the last days of couple and officially from last week, my computer went to the blue screen with problems of memory, it seems.  I'm not very good with the technical part of the computers and I finally know what to do.  It gave me an error report which stops just when I try to use the search for a solution button.  He mostly stops when I try to run games on it, but sometimes he does when I'm not even in it.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.
