January 31, 200422 yr Hi Ken:Sorry to report that with my system, when using FSAutostart with FS9, I can no longer toggle between Windowed display and full-screen mode using ALt-Enter, even with no changes to any processes or programs.Any suggestions?Best regards,SandySystem:VIA P4PB 400-L motherboardIntel P4 2.8 GHz processor1.0 GB RAMnVidia FX5200 Ultra display adapter, latest driversWestern Digital 120Gb 7200 rpm hard driveCreative Audigy2 sound cardWindows XP Home Edition
January 31, 200422 yr Author Hi Sandy,"when using FSAutostart with FS9, I can no longer toggle between Windowed display and full-screen mode using ALt-Enter, even with no changes to any processes or programs."......now that's a strange one. Like Ken I have had no problems in that respect. Have you checked whether other HotKeys are affected?I would suggest you first uninstall FSAutostart to see whether the problem persists. If it does, try a System Restore to a date just before you installed FSAutostart. That should determine whether FSAutostart was implicated or not, I suspect the latter, in which case you will need to direct your attentions elswhere - sorry :(Mike
January 31, 200422 yr Hi Mike and Ken:I guess I wasn't too clear. What I meant to say is that "when using FSAutostart with FS9, I can no longer toggle between Windowed display and full-screen mode using ALt-Enter, even with no changes to any processes or programs. However, when not using FSAutostart--that is, when starting FS9 normally--there is no problem in this respect."I've also since discovered that when starting FS9 with FSAutostart, in the SETTINGS-DISPLAY-HARDWARE window the "Device Name" and "Available Display Resolutions" boxes are both competely blank and the "Render to Texture" and "Transform and lighting" boxes are unchecked. (these were shown as checked using the normal FS9 start.)When not using FSAutostart the hardware settings display is normal and functions properly with respect to selecting settings.Sandy
January 31, 200422 yr Author Sandy, just a thought, have you by any chance stopped 'explorer.exe' in Configure Programs? Not sure if this is the explanation, but what you are describing is not happening on my setup and that is the one program I have left at 'No Action' - see my thread 'FSAutostart - my configuration settings'.Mike
January 31, 200422 yr Yes, you will probably need to list out what services and programs you have stopped.
January 31, 200422 yr Hi Ken:As I said originally, the problem occurs even if no services or programs are stopped with FSAutostart. Without FSAutostart everything seems normal.Sandy
January 31, 200422 yr Okay, are you autostarting any programs after starting Flight Sim? Are you using Defragment memory option?If you want, email me the fsautostart.ini file (or whatever profile file you are using) and I'll take a look...
