I have Vista Ultimate x64. I setup WMC to use my HDTV at 1080i 1360x768 in 16:9. When I play TV, movies, or videos it never plays it fullscreen. I checked for an option to stretch the video, but there is none. How can I get it to play everything fullscreen? DirecTV standard receiver
View 4 RepliesI have a friend who just got a new PC with Vista Home Basic. He's using an old DOS program that worked under XP, but doesn't appear to work properly in Vista. When I execute the program, it comes up with the error message "This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." My choices then are "Close" or "Ignore". Whichever option I click on, the program will then run, but in a miniscule window that I can't alter.
Any ideas on how to get this to run in fullscreen like it did before? I'm working on getting him to join the 21st century, but in the interim, I'd like to make this work...at least temporarily.
I was wondering if anybody has a fix for fullscreen transparency? I'd perfer not to use a program.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe problem I've been having is that when I try to run a game in full screen mode the game will just minimize itself and no matter how many times i try to bring it up it just flashes a black screen and then returns to the desktop with the game still minimized. I believe I've found what causes this but I'm still not satisfied with my current solution. What I've found so far is that on my computer full screen games don't like to run in 32bit color mode. I've got an ati card and when I change the color setting in the catalyst control center to 16bit also disabling aero the games seem to run fine. What I'm trying to find out I guess:
A. am i fixing the root of the problem by doing this?
B. is there a way to have games incompatable with aero automatically adjust the color and aero settings when started then return the settings to normal on close?
On my programs transferred over from XP I keep on getting a message saying "This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." It gives me a choice of close or ignore (of course ignore does nothing).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem with my Vista Home Premium x64 and haven't found a solution so far. My PC started recently to minimize some games to the tray when I start them.
Those games are:
- Sacred Gold
- Ghost Recon (inlcuding both addons)
- Tom Clancy's HAWX Demo
- Braid Demo
I can't figure out what's causing this... The problem only started to occur recently - I don't know why. I uninstalled everything I had installed recently, but to no avail.
I`ve have an eyefinity setup running 3x24" monitors in portrait mode at 3600x1920. Every time I try to load the game I get "failed to find working fullscreen mode". I`ve tried everything from internet searches for the same problem and gone into the sortcut of the game to open in different window modes, but no luck.
