    How to go FULLSCREEN again!!!

    Anyone know how to make games go to fullscreen that used to be in fullscreen, like Quake3? I was playing a Quake3 mod and I though the game froze so I hit ctrl+alt+dlt and alt tab and stuff but nothing worked. Then 2 seconds later it alt-tabbed itself and windowed itself. Now it plays in a window all the time I need it to go back to full screen :-P

    Right clicking on the window bar and select Restore or Maximize.

    What the hell, this just happened to me with MOHAA. Its because the game asks a gamespy server for something, and if you aren't connected, the game drops you into windows at a Network Connections window. I've tried Alt-Enter and the Restore trick, neither work!

    In the game settings choose a resolution that's higher than your desktop's. Use that for a little bit, restart.

    Start the game up again, and set it your usual resolution. Use it for a bit, restart.

    Should be fine now.


    Helped me with RTCW anyway.
