Deaktop shrinks
Hi all, I downloaded and installed Casino-on-net which runs fine but what
i`ve found is that if I play the game on full screen(it opens by default to minimized 1/2 screen), is that when I exit the game the desktop has shrunk ie: there`s a black 1/2 inch boarder around the edge and any applications I open are all the size of the desktop. I`ve checked the display properties and nothing seems to have changed. when I reboot all`s back to normal. Any ideas on what I can do to resize it back to normal without rebooting. Thank and happy new year Kim |

Try right clicking the desktop and selecting refresh to see if that does
anything. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "kimbo_" wrote in message ...

Also, be sure to check with the manufacturer of your display adapter or your
computer to see if there is an updated video driver that you can download and install. PattyL "kimbo_" wrote in message ...

It may be the resolution used by the game causing the screen to shrink.
You could try as Ron suggests by refreshing the screen. Another thing you could try is creating a shortcut to the games .exe and in the shortcuts Properties Run box, setting the .exe to open maximized. -- Brian A.

Regarding your note to Patty, it is taking me three times longer to prepare
the message than it did to find the driver: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27 Click on W98 drivers Click on All in Wonder Under 128 click on item 2 Under Download click on the file name Good luck -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "kimbo_" wrote in message ...

My pleasure ma'am. If I ever get some spare time, I'll drop you a note and
find out how things are in Big D. I don't know how I ever got anything done when I worked full time. Being retired should present lots of free time but as I think you now know, it doesn't. :-) -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "PattyL" wrote in message ...
