CooCooKaJoo Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 okay, so i just got a new laptop and i like to play in windowed mode however, the bottom of the screen cuts off the bottom of the window for example i can have it full screen but in windowed mode and it fits, but i want it to just snap into place. i cant move the window up and drag it smaller as windows 7 puts it full screen if you move it up and its alrady as small as i can make it. my screen resolution is already maxed out. any suggestions?

SWaRFeGa Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 What screen res is that? Looks a little unsuitable really :/ I love my screen to be huge, not the icons to be huge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCooKaJoo Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 it's 1366 x 768 that the highest i got Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirlwind Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I think by default FM runs windowed in 1024x768. Taking into account the space needed for your taskbar there isn't enough space for the 768 FM needs. Try hiding your taskbar and see if it displays properly.

CooCooKaJoo Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 nah i can see through the task bar already (its kinda transparent and stuff) and the buttons for confirming stuff are only just on there let alone the bottom of the window. besides i cant pull down the taskbar, only up. STUPID WINDOWS 7 ive managed to auto hide the taskbar but i still cant get to the bottom anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You can move the taskbar to the side, which will sort out your problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_numbers Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Set the taskbar to autohide. Or, there are ways of changing it back to the traditional style taskbar, then drag FM to the top so it fills the screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I've just checked, the smallest possible window seems to be 813 pixels including the bar at the top. What happens when you try and maximise the window? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooCooKaJoo Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 it does this which suggests that it should be possible for me to make it smaller when not maximised! ARGH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 When maximised, if you go to a player profile do you get scroll bars on the attributes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You need a bigger screen resolution to play in Windowed Mode how you want, as the game needs 768 vertical pixels (not including the window border and the taskbar). It is not possible to drag the window size down below 768 pixels unless you maximise the window (which snaps it to the edge of the screens regardless of your screen size).

Neji Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I'm guessing not but does the netbook skin allow it to be smaller? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgrigg Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Go to Start, then click Run... and try entering this: "C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\fm.exe" -small_screen -windowed That might help. Obviously if you've installed the game in a different location, you'll need to change the path. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
