kanaizinha Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Hello!I just built my new computer few days ago and when I went to play Skyrim there is nothing in this world that I am able to do to get it to full screen. No matter the resolution I set it to, it always starts as a little tiny small window in the corner of the screen, I can't even read the game properly.I already tried going to skyrimprefs.ini and changing "bFull Screen=" to 1 instead of 0 and changing the X and Y resolution to whatever, did that on /mygames as well, changed to "read-only". My drivers are all up to date, Steam and the graphics card software. Even when I try to play in window mode that same size window still appears. I tried to contact Bathesda but I am pretty sure they didn't even read my email because they sent me a totally random email back. So I am trusting you guys with this lol I have a intel i7 2700k, Corsair XM3 16gb 1333mhz, Radeon HD 6950, Asus P8z68 v pro/gen3, and over 1.5tb of free space on my hard drive. So I know that is not the computer. It used to work fine on my old computer, had no issues with full screen at all. Thank you! ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NO9357 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I suggest you to use the "option" ingame to change the settings,see if the settings will stay or not.I have the same problem,I can change the skyrimpref.ini through option,but that did nothing for me,I am not sure will this solve your problem.(I have heard that use a new account may help,you may want to give it a try.)

dov7gr Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Have you tried Alt + Enter ? I've encountered this problem with some other games, and Alt + Enter fixed it. Don't know if it works with Skyrim though.Alt + Enter is for making applications like games, go fullscreen or window mode, but u'll have to have window mode disabled in the Skyrim options.(in case u've left it enabled from your tests).

AngeGardien Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Make sure when your lauch skyrim (when you click on the shortcut to play Skyrim) when the box appear, choose option and in this windows, make sure the box "window" they are in the lower left, are not enable..., else if they are enable, you always start in windows mode and not full screen.

TonyTitan Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 What type of monitor are you using? You say that you just built your PC, does your monitor need drivers too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
