Note to the moderators... Please be kind and leave this post for the day. I know it should be moved. I first posted it in the Tweaking & Overclocking forum. But no one checks it out...   Undecided

Hello all, first I must say I'm no computer wizard, please be gentle with me.

Just bought and installed a Samsung LCD screen (19") which allows me to have a 1280 x 1024 screen resolution. I have 1 gig of RAM and a FX5200 video card installed. Windows XP is installed (SP1).

The problem.

Whe I start FS2004 with the desktop screen resolution that I have chosen (1280 x 1024), the settings of FS2004 still show 800 x 600. Fine, changed the screen resolution within FS2004 to 1280 x 1024... Result: the window is so small! What am I missing here?

Thanks for any help.

Jean-Francois

Hi J-F. If you're running FS9 in Windows mode the windows can be minimised/resized as with any other program. The FS9 display resolution settings are advanced graphics options for Full Screen mode. This should not affect the size of the "window". Alt + Enter toggles between Windows & Full Screen mode.

You might need to adjust the display size of the  monitor while in Full Screen mode. This runs on DirectX & is different from the standard Windows settings.

Thanks Doug, makes sense. Did not try the maximized window mode, just the full size mode. You bet I'll try this tonight.

Cheers.

Jean-Francois.

PS. Thanks to the mods... Appreciated!
