FS2004 starts in small window

Postby 20kieron08 » Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:08 pm

When i started FS2004 today, I was surprised to see that the program is only opening in a small minimized window and I can't fix it. I've tried going into properties and changing the view there but it's made no difference. Any help would be much appreciated

Did you install any new programs or drivers between the last closure of 2004 and opening it again when the problem occured? Big chance is that one of them could be causing your problem.

Try ndude737's suggestion. That's the most likely cause.

Try right clicking the FS 2004 icon and select run in Normal Window or full screen. ;)
