To ensure that your PowerPoint presentation opens in full screen mode on a 40" LCD TV screen when Windows starts, you can make a few adjustments to your setup. Here's a step-by-step guide to fix this issue: 1.
Check the Command Line Arguments: - Confirm that you have added the correct command line argument to open the PowerPoint presentation in full screen mode. It should be "/fullscreen" without the quotation marks. 2.
Update the Shortcut: - Since you've already added "/fullscreen" to the target path, ensure that it's added correctly. Here's how you can check and update the shortcut: - Right-click on the shortcut that opens the PowerPoint presentation. - Select "Properties." - In the "Target" field, verify that the path includes the command line argument
/fullscreen. - If it's not there, add it after the path within the quotes. For example:
Code:
"C:\path\to\your\presentation.wmv" /fullscreen
3.
Set the Display Options: - To ensure the presentation opens in full screen on the 40" LCD TV, adjust the display settings within PowerPoint itself. Here's how: - Open the PowerPoint presentation. - Go to the "Slide Show" tab. - Click on "Set Up Slide Show" in the "Set Up" group. - In the "Set Up Show" dialog box, under "Show type," select "Browsed at a kiosk (full screen)." - Click on OK to save the settings. 4.
Testing: - After making these changes, restart your computer to test if the PowerPoint presentation opens in full screen mode automatically on the 40" LCD TV screen. By following these steps and ensuring that both the shortcut properties and PowerPoint settings are configured correctly, you should be able to resolve the issue of the presentation opening in maximized view instead of full screen. This setup will optimize the display for your 40" TV. Let me know if you encounter any issues or need further assistance!
