| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Games starting in a window Hello, I have another problem. When I start Crysis, DooM 3 and Far Cry 2, they start in a window, even I have "full screen" enabled. But TrackMania United Forever, Worms 3D and Far Cry are starting normally. What may be the problem? |

| Vista 64 Bit | Re: Games starting in a window Excluding the game mansrm81 mentioned, I found that for some of the others, Crysis and Far Cry 2 etc...... that if you press Alt-Enter together then it will send the game to fullscreen Jekyll and Hyde  |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: Games starting in a window Thanks, but is there any setting to fix it? Because on my old Windows XP it automatically was starting fullscreen. |

| Vista Ultimate 64bit SP2/ | Re: Games starting in a window Go to C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Crysis and open the game.cfg and look for this r_Fullscreen = 1 even though it says it regenerates it just try it. If that doesn't work try putting that into the shortcut for Crysis. I don't know what to do for Far Cry 2 cause I don't have it. |

| Vista home premium 64 bit | Re: Games starting in a window Are the games starting in the native resolution for your monitor? If not change them to the native resolution, also ensure your desktop is set to the native resolution, this may help. |

| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: Games starting in a window as jekyll said just press alt and enter together as this will permanently fix it, mine used to do that and alt enter fixed it for me, even did it in assassins creed, but when you choose windowed mode, you need to press it again to get it out of it. |
