Yeah I installed them, I tried to do it again there to make sure and I got an error saying it didnt meet the requirements :S

My laptop is more advanced than the standard 6710b, its been upgraded so I dont get that unless the min requirement is to not have the driver :S

Re: Full screen applications don't use full screen!

Okay, So I managed to get it to use the full screen by lowering the resolution. However now everything else is blurry ...

Can anyone see a solution to allow full screen on the highest res?

Thanks
