airjoc Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I just loaded E&B on my new computer which have window 7. The game work fine but my game screen is very small, which appear on the left side of my screen; how do I get a full screen? Do I have the wrong video setting on my computer and how can I fix it? your help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Sounds like you have it in windowed mode at possibly 800X600 to me. Try running the E&B config again and turning windowed mode off. Might do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjoc Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I tried it both way sitting resolutions on High and Med and ran Config, still no change :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Did you make sure the windowed mode check box is UN-checked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaPrime Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I am having the exact same problem, and ensuring that the "windowed mode" box is unchecked does NOT resolve the issue. To be honest I would not even give a crap and run it in windowed mode, but I am also unable to enlarge the game screen in any way. I should probably point out I am using Win 7 Professional 64. I used to play E&B back in the Westwood/EA days on a WinXP machine and had no problems like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTall Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I haven't seen it in this thread, but I see no mention of doing your functions as Administrator. That is a MUST for all operations pertaining to E & B when using Vista or Win7, preferably starting with your install. I am not saying you need to do a re-install as Administrator, but all the other stuff, I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
