Hi,

When a game says that it cannot be played in window mode because of the screen resolution, does this mean they want more or less, to be able to window it. Is it safe to up the resolution if that is the case?

I am assuming that is why I can't reduce the game to desktop bar when I press the Windows key, it just freezes so I have to reboot.

It makes it easier when having to look at a walkthrough, rather than exiting the game everytime.

More for the Windows desktop, less for the game. You don't want the window larger than your monitor is displaying.

I'll see what happens when I reduce. Most games will automatically do this, and I notice they are always less.

Maybe some games have to be done manually.

Thanks Jenny

That did it, I can now put it to desktop bar without it freezeing.
