Skyrim not maximizing

Recommended Posts

I know this isn't a mod thing but it's bothering me. Whenever I load the game it works fine, mods are fine but it won't take up all the screen on my laptop it's just in one corner like it's minimized... please help

Go to your Skyrim installation directory (Steam\Steam Apps\Common\Skyrim) and run the SkyrimLauncher.exe. Go to Options and make sure that the option to run in windowed mode isn't checked. If that's okay, then go to your SkyrimPrefs.ini file (Documents\My Games\Skyrim). Look under [Display] and make sure you have the line bFull Screen=1. If you do not have that line, add it. If the Prefs.ini is okay, then double check your Skyrim.ini under [Display] and make sure there's NO line referring to bFull Screen. If there is such a line, delete it. Hopefully, one of these suggestions will sort things out for you. :)

This advice is sound and should work fine. If for some strange reason it doesn't, try using ALT+Enter to go into full screen. I play some games where full screen doesn't quite work until I ALT-Enter.
