Full Screen Not Working

[Guest all4golf]

I recently installed Windows 7 and am not having the crash issue like everyone else. Before on Vista I'm fairly certain that the screen took up my entire laptop screen, now it's just a square box in the middle. I tried changing the resolution but it only adjusts it for that little box and doesn't go outside these boundaries. Anyone else have this problem?

I think that is a feature of Windows7, it does not scale the screen to widescreen, resulting in better compatibility for some games. I've seen that on my girlfriends notebook. But actually, I don't know how to disable that. Does every Application that does not run in a widescreen resolution look like that?

I'm fairly certain it's the only non widescreen game I have, everything else runs in 1920x1080.

If I remember correctly, Emergency4 does not support widescreen resolutions, so this could be the reason why windows7 does not stretch it on the whole screen

All though EM4 does not support wide screens

you can force him to do so anyway.

Go to you EM4 directory folder and look for the file called:

"em4.cfg"

Open tis with notepad.

And look for tis line:

<var name="r_xres" value="*your resolution" /> <var name="r_yres" value="your resolution" />

You need to change your resolution in to a widescreen resolution making the file look like this:

<var name="r_xres" value="1920" />   <var name="r_yres" value="1080" />

(tis is my native wide screen resolution).

for a laptop i think you would need 1280 x 800 or something in that direction

(edit:) other types of true wide screen resolutions(16:9)

monitors can be found in resolutions of 1024x576, 1280x720, 1600x900, and 1920x1080.

Downloaded the new version of Nvidia driver and it was fixed.

Edit: Tian318 does that actually give it 1920x1080 pixels or does it just stretch it out?

[Tian318]

it gives a 1920x1080 resolution.

No stretching

i had this problem its windows 7 can stretch games like XP and Vista there is no way to fix it but wait for a service pack maybe then

I fixed it by going back to Vista.....

I can run EM4 @ 1920x1080 with W7 64 bit. I've never had any trouble with changing the resolution.

try using Alt+Enter, makes most of the games go fullscreen.

Fixed it just change to 1600x900
