Deus Ex Problem

[Vladamir]

So, in a moment of nostalgia i reinstalled this earlier, i was happily playing along in fullscreen, then trend micro pops up and does some stuff, so i have to alt-tab back to it.

Hmm, it's not fullscreen anymore. Go into options, toggle fullscreen? Yep please, click the button.

Aaaaaaand it goes to fullscreen in black, but then reverts back to smallscreen. I've tried spamming it but it doesnt work either D:

As leet as this game is, i don't wanna play it on a quarter of my screen, anyone got any ideas why it's broken?

Isnt there anyway to get rid of the thing that brings you out of fullscreen in the first place? Some of the old games get a bit funny when you try to alt tab.

Have you tried pressing Alt-Enter?

When playing games that don't require "ze net", pull out any wifi/cable you have, shut down every program you have that isn't needed(yes, those ant-viral things) and then when you're done, start up cr*p and plug in.

Well, it's sort of advice?

 

[aika]

try to run it in compatibility mode (either win 2000 or win 98 )

 

[old.Tohtori]

win 98 )

You have said the unholy word, you must now be cleansed with the firey...fijery...fairy?...flaming dildo of death!

Bend over and repent!
