I have a Toshiba laptop with vista but when ever i play a game it doesnt go to full screen, starcraft, for example is just centered and only takes up about a fourth of the screen. Its not a huge problem, just kind of anoying cause it makes it kind of hard to see. It didnt always do this, so i probably changed some setting somewhere... I looked around and i cant find any options relating to this, any of you know how i can fix?

My bro has the same brand of laptop and we can't get it to go full either, I've asked and people say the Run as and crap like that, but it's never worked for us..

Just here for the activity... well not really

My Toshiba laptop uses XP and it does fullscreen fine. Its probably a Vista problem.

Have you tried using basic troubleshooting, or configuring your system settings?

This isn't Vista's fault. What kind of graphics card do you have?
If you have an intel thingy, right click on your desktop and go to Graphics Properties, and find something with the option Full screen (no border).

I have the same issue on an old Toshiba laptop with Windows 98. Not that it bothers me, cause I never use it, but it's sort of funny that two other Toshiba laptop users also have the issue.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
