Huddlestone Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I've just installed FM on my laptop and when I load the game the screen isn't centred so I can't see the bottom of the screen and there is a black square at the top. How can I change it so the screen is correct? Thanks in Advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trux Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Try minimise and then maximise see if it works (preferences> set to desktop reselution and windowed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trux Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Right click desktop shortcut. Then add -windowed -small_screen to the end of the target after fm.exe" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trux Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Game is already in window mode. Remove what I said before. What happens when you click full screen icon at top of screen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 what resolution are you running windows in, because those icons look very large indeed Dont go for anything other than 1024 x 768, the game might be trying to emulate your res on windows and if its any less then everything will be too big and wont fit on screen.

It changes back to full screen when I remove it? what resolution are you running windows in, because those icons look very large indeed Dont go for anything other than 1024 x 768, the game might be trying to emulate your res on windows and if its any less then everything will be too big and wont fit on screen.

Huddlestone Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Nah dw mate thanks for the help, I may have worked out what the problem is. My pc resolution can only be x600 not x728 which is a pain. I need to find a way to get it working possibly if it was in windows mode it would work but it's a nusense trying to get it to.
