Might and Magic 6 and 7 full screen

[Chris or Larry LaMere]

I just installed Might and Magic 6 and 7 on a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Pro. ( Fat32) Everything works
fine except that I can't get the game screen to full screen. Using the F4 key which is supposed to toggle from
windowed to full screen just causes the desktop to go black and reapear, the game screen stays the same size.

I've already tried running in 640 x 480 under compatibility mode and changing the screen resolution in display
preferences and neither works.

Any suggestions?

Try Fn+F7, it is one of the function keys together with Fn

Hi,

Some games use ALT+ENTER to toggle Full Screen On / Off.

No good, no effect at all.

Thanks anyhow.

Nope the documentation specifies the F4 key

Thanks.

Sorry, my mistake. Came across a posting in this newsgroup (viewing
games full screen) that mentioned Fn+F7. Have a look at the thread, you
might come across something helpful. Try also Fn+F4.
