full screen

I'm still having problems with minimising of games, windows & full screen movies to small boxed windows at random. I know when this happens my mouse cursor has a loading circle so something in the background is causing this for sure but I have no idea what/ I have no spyware or adware as...

Hello, I'd like to know if anyone knows an application that let you write notes that keep being displayed while executing a fullscreen application (like a game). Thank you.

Ever since I upgraded my HDD to a SSD I have been suffering hung process's that refuse to end. I have tried cmd prompt which says the process is not running but it shows in task manager. I've tried process explorer & that does nothing & the only way I can get the process to end so I can re...

I would like to set my primary monitor to my tv but my taskbar on the laptop screen, is this possible? I would like to do this because I want to play games on fullscreen on the tv but i like having the taskbar on the laptop screen. Thanks -Elliot

I thought I try something new and have made a narrated tutorial with embedded videos and links using Power Point. The tutorial shows you how to make tutorials or presentations in the same fashion as this example. Because of the nature of the tutorial, I cannot post it here. I have uploaded...

I have a Sony laptop with Windows 8.1.1 on it. When using something like IE 11 the taskbar refuses to go into hiding. I see now that it does when a program is put into full screen mode. I don't remember ever seeing this before, and that may take some getting used to, unless there's a way...

Hi all, I have a HP Omni desktop with Windows 8. I installed the 8.1 update 2 days ago and ever since, the Store App just keeps randomly opening in full screen while I am working on the Desktop. I've done some searching, but I haven't seen anyone else post this same issue. Has anyone else...

Hi I used to be able to snap to full screen with windows 7, I can't do it with windows 8.1, why? Thanks

Hi I was wondering whether anyone could tell me why this happens? I have a 1080i HD TV set, with a resolution of 1920 by 1080, and a 27" monitor with the same resolution. I do see that inspite of the fact that both are the same pixel dimensions they are not the same aspect ratio. I'm aware...

If I open a PDF file or some other kinds of files, I can't figure out how to quickly exit and get back to the desktop. In other Windows versions, the handy Escape key or Back arrow would do that. Now, if I press Escape nothing happens and I have to reboot the computer because the PDF takes up...

Everytime I am using my computer and have an active window it de-selects itself. I have no clue why. When I am playing fullscreen games it minimizes itself, and pauses other games. It stops me from typing, I cannot live with it. Any solutions to this? -I've done a full scan with malwarebytes...

I've been working on this Reddit app for Windows 8. I call it Redditopia. It started as a quick weekend project to teach myself the WinRT programming model. But after I bought my first tablet(Surface RT), I kept craving that one more feature and have now spent more weekends(and nights) on this...

I have the game Hoyle Card Games running on a tablet with Windows 8. When the game starts, it opens in a full screen graphical layout and asks for a username, but I don't know how to get the keyboard up to type my name. is there a way to get the keyboard to show while in the game?

While working I mostly use Chrome. Even so the fullscreen IE metro appp is quite appealing and its nice to wander sometimes while using it.So there is no other way of keeping it as app too without seting IE as default browser. And on a side note: That Browser choice shoulnt dissapear once Ive...

This is very hard to explain in words, but I'll give it a try. Basically, I can't play any games continuously without it freezing or crashing. HOWEVER, this is not a typical crash that you may be thinking of. Normally a crash is when the system cannot cope, and it ends the application's...

Welcome, As in the topic I wanted to know how I could play a game ( World in Conflict ) in DirectX 10? I can't get WIC to work because it crashes after going to black screen in xp sp3 compatibility mode. Normally it is worse: it doesn't even go fullscreen. In massgate forums they told...
