garf Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 i would really appreciate it if someone from si could give me a definitive answer. basically i have the commands that you give on your support on the website. i use the command cd /Applications/Sports\ Interactive/Football\ Manager\ 2008/fm.app i press enter and then type in cd fm.app/Contents/MacOS/ and it returns saying no such file or directory. and then i don't know what to do. i have a new macbook 13.3" and i know it is possible to achieve a full screen as others have clarified, and for the moment i just can't play the game as i have played it for 10 years in nothing other than full screen. what am i typing in wrong? thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Can you not just do this. Go on football manager Options > Preferences > Display and Sound > and then tick the full screen box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garf Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Can you not just do this.Go on football manager Options > Preferences > Display and Sound > and then tick the full screen box? unfortunately the full screen displays with black edges either side that doesn't utilise the whole screen. my old computer (also a widescreen) didn't have this problem. it's all a bit small, i need to override the preferences and set my own parameters. thanks though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terror Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm also using a mac. I don't want to change my resolution to play the game. And when i play in windowed mode i can't see the bottom part of the screen! Its freaking annoying. http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture1dc5.png As you can see, the bottom is cutoff. I wish SI could address us Mac users. Pretty fantastic player though, hehe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
