Display Issue

Arledrian · 09-29-2004, 11:27 PM

I'm having a small technical problem. I've been running the game in window mode, which has been fine. The other day I decided I wanted to try full-screen again, so I changed that setting. The second I did, the game minimized itself and went back to the desktop. Every time I try and open the game now, the screen goes black for a second, then it goes back to windows. It seems like it's trying to display it full-screen, but can't. Does anyone know how I can change it back to window mode from outside the game? Because I can't get into it to change the option back. If this is all too confusing, just ignore my post, but if you have any idea, please do help me out. Thanks a lot. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Go into start->program files->Bg and then go to bgconfig. You can access it from there.

How goes the search engine btw?

Do you know which command line I have to add or edit exactly? Because I tried looking in that file and didn't know where to start. Thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The search engine is sold. I had to raise money in order to buy my new car, so I flogged it for $600 on eBay. I got back more than I put in, so I can't complain. Times change. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ohwell, atleast you made a profit.

Anyways. You don't need a command line.

Go to start-->programs-->blackisle-->bg1-->bgconfig

then click on display which is in the graphics tab. Then you'l see the option windowed or full screen. Select what you want and thats you.

I think that's only in BG II, because there isn't a display tab in BGconfig. There's only "options" "keyboard shortcuts" "priest spell shortcuts" and "wizard spell shortcuts." I'm pretty sure that there's a line I could add or edit in baldur.ini but again, I don't know what to do.

Okay sorry. I don't currently have bg1 installed on its own (only with bgt) so Il check for you and get back to you tomorow.

baldur.ini, dearest.

Under program options, set full screen to 0.

Yeah! That fixed it. [img]smile.gif[/img] Thank you, muffin of preference.
