Simple question ... windowed mode

Featured Replies

Um, I seem to be stuck in windowed mode. Been using the sim for a long time over the years, and somehow, while fooling around with second monitor, extended desktop and moving panels around, I seem to have gotten stuck. The sim has the

"Flight simulator X" frame across the top, and the taskbar across the bottom. When I hit alt=return, I just get a black screen with a portion of the desktop showing on the right. Alt=ctrl-return, it takes me back to the full screen window with the sim in it.

I think it happened while undocking windows, but cant seem to undo it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

Never mind... figured it out, duh.

See! We're so good we didn't even have to answer!

 

Glad you got it sorted - had the same type of thing happen to me a while back - multi monitors can occasionally do strange things.
