Windows 7 - games don't work in mode full screen - proposals of Solution

Then you have windows 7 and games got to black borders on each time... don't have don't not afraid is not your Windows 7, something's not going I don't know what, but everything the world has this problem... my say, it's games = vista/xp internet win 7

When we bought windows 7 we screwed...

my opinion... but if you find a way to fix it we don't get screwed and you'll be a hero

Hi mate

I m not a hardcore gamer, but occasionally I m playing games on my laptop Win 7 preinstalled.

Here is my proposed solution:
Why you n t install Win XP in Windows 7 mode?
This would allow to run games that are not fully compatible with Win 7 in Win XP environment!

Here is an interesting page of Microsoft:

    But if I run a game that is not in the same as the computer screen resulution is a square in the middle of the screen and it is two big black lines down on each side. It does not put the game in full screen. The games in the same resulution works very well.

    Some games may be put to the resulution have this computer.

    How can I do then come in full screen?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the display driver? Maybe you have an older version that is not fully compatible with Windows 7. Just check the Web from Toshiba site to get the latest version:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Normally for mode full screen in games you choose the native screen resolution of your screen there.
    Check this box!

  • I can only play in windowed mode. Windows 7 turns black and hangs in mode full screen.

    I recently updated my Acer Aspire 5739 G for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and had not really tried any games on it so far.  When I put in the disc for Civ IV and door to the top of the screen normal preplay, one with the options 'read', 'readme' and 'Quit' in this regard.  When I went to game, he began to load up, the screen went black as if it were passing in the game, and then it stops there.  The computer is not freeze because I got music on and he kept playing when the screen went and remained black.

    So I tried another game, Supreme Commander.  Same thing.  Same thing with the other.  I've updated the drivers for the Nvidia GeForce GT 130 M to the most recent, but that did nothing.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the games, but that has not changed anything either.  Also tried opening the game in compatibility mode for Vista I know wherever they worked before, but nothing.

    Finally, after playing with the settings for a while, I decided to try to open in windowed mode because it seemed that when the games have tried full-screen was the problem, and of course, it works beautifully.

    So what is happening here?  Why I can't play them full screen mode?  There is something really simple that I'm not just doing?

    Fixed!

  • Mode full-screen Windows 10

    I installed Firefox on a new computer with Windows 10 and initially failed to enter fullscreen (F11) mode. After some tests, I came up with a procedure that works, but involves starting Firefox twice each time - a minor annoyance.
    I have 1 'Favorites' tab and the other tabs open with a working fullscreen and close Firefox normally (I don't get the warning waited on the closure of several tabs). The following steps find Firefox upward and mode full-screen:

    1. launch Firefox. It gives a blank page expanded with the address bar and the bar tab with a single tab.
    2. press F11. Curiously, square set full-screen mode, it replaces the page 'Restored' size.
    3 maximize. Window extends to its appearance after step 1.
    4. stop Firefox. Window goes away.
    5. start Firefox a 2nd time. This time, it will come with the 'restoration' page Firefox (with address & tab bar) which shows the tabs that were open at the previous close and gives the opportunity to select the tabs you want to come this time.
    At this point F11 will toggle in and out of fashion full screen properly, so steps 6 and 7 can be either order.
    6. press F11. He's going to full screen (i.e. address & tab bars disappear).
    7. click on the button "restore". Earlier closing tabs are restored and F11 is fully functional.
    Issues related to the:
    1. Why don't I get the warning for closing multiple tabs? (It seems more to be an option.)
    2. because (in XP at least) the "Restoration" page should appear only after a forced or abnormal stop, why is she even get involved? (Both the cases referred were normal).
    3. why Firefox doesn't come until normal the first time, with only the tabs that have been pinned and F11 functional?

    Since the first opening of this problem, it seems that the updates have been applied to Firefox, Windows 10 or both, and itself has the problem. So "thank you" to the one who fixed it.

  • Offset of JInternalFrame mode full-screen exclusive Windows 7?

    < font size = 2 > Hi everyone I don't know if I'm posting this question in the right category then feel free to move it. I've recently been playing with full screen exclusive and JInternalFrames mode. What IV ' e noticed is now on all platforms I have tried works very well. By clicking and dragging the JInternalFrame to a new location, it's fast and responsive. However when you do this operation even under Windows 7 the JInternalFrame lags significantly behind the location of the mouse I'm dragging the inner frame. I did have the chance to test this on all other Windows such as Vista or XP platform, but I don't think that happens on these platforms, at least I don't remember that ever happens when I had Windows Vista and it does not occur in Mac OS 10.6.

    The circumstances that I found which produce this problem are:

    * 1. The program is set to full screen Exclusive mode.*
    * 2. You use Windows 7 (and possibly other Windows platforms). *
    * 3. Click and drag a JInternalFrame for a new same lieu.*

    I have tried several things to see if it solves the problem such as the definition of the appearance of cross-platform, but nothing helped. In fact, when the Lebanese armed forces are cross-platform, it is still worse.

    Now, I am new to the mode full-screen exclusive so I think (hope) it is a problem due to a mistake on my part. Here is the source code, I would appreciate it if you give it a try. My question is how can I correct this offset so that the JInternalFrame is quick and sensitive to the user drag the window and I wonder also if this happens only on Windows 7, so if someone could tell me also if they experience the problem I describe and the operating system that you use that would be great. Thanks guys :)

    Also, any input on the weather, I'll put up the mode full-screen exclusive mode correctly would be appreciated too. < / make >

    Hi WildRavin,

    This happens because the resolution of the monitor screen does not match the dimension of the image.

    Try matching the dimension of the image and the screen resolution or lower the resolution of the monitor screen and correspond to the dimension of the image, and check the results.

    I have found lately that when playing videos on Windows Media Player divx mode full screen audio is out of sync.  If the video is played in window mode, there is no problem.  I had no such problem in the past, but now for about 1 month or so, I have this problem.

    I can't believe! I solved the problem with this problem of video audio sync during playback in full screen!

    While watching the Pineapple Express, I thought WTF I'll take another closer look at this, and while they were smashimg their cell phones so that they could not be found by triangulation, (don't ask - u just I have to watch - stoner movie )...

    in any case, I looked under tools options in WMP.  I unchecked the option on the performance tab "use video smoothing"-the video as reloaded and bingo! everything in harmony!

    BTW, I checked my another PC running Vista 32 bit and the option ' use video smoothing ' also exists and it is checked if this seems to be a problem with WMP works on Vista 64 bit or running desktop Touchsmart of WMP... In case I am much happier now...

    This is similar to hardware problems - I suggest running a utility to test memory such a MemTest86 for a few hours see what he reports and also to test the hard drive with the utility of control of the manufacturer. (Because Maxtor no longer exist, use the utility of Seagatehttp://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools - I prefer the DOS version)
    You can have overheating problems - check fans on your machine are not clogged, clean and spin freely.
