Title: Game is half fullscreen half  windowed mode
Post by: slik on April 22, 2006, 12:45:05 AM

Hi well im on a crap labtop p4 800mhz 300 ram and Ati Mobility 128 agp 2x, funny though the aprox memory on the video card is 8mb according to dxdiag .. well i play counterstrike and when i start it its in windowed mode... but has black borders... indicating it should be running in full screen... a friend of mine  has a crap labtop too and had this problem... but he clicked something on his keyboard and got it to be in fullscreen... i cant get in touch with him so im wondering what do i press to make it totally fullscreen.

Dont suppose youve tried changing the resololution withing the game have you? I got Counter Strike Condition Zero and i had this problem but just changed my resolution in the game to the one which suited my screen. Hope this helps

Ah thank you, it works. I was afraid to raise the resolution just because i dont want the fps to be a constant 10 or something... heh thanks again

Hmmm thats odd, So what Counter Strike have you got? The original? It might just be the server you know, some servers have things on that your pc doesnt have which crashes the game. Try another 3 servers and get back to me, ill research some more for you.

Also when the resolution was only half could you connect to servers?
