Stuck in window mode...need help

so i was playing oblivion along time ago and quit... then i started it back up yester day and it was in window mode.... after restarting the game and changing the resolution up to 1024x768 its still stuck in window mode. i went threw all the menus in the game and still didnt see a way to change it to full screen mode. where can i find the menu to change it?

 

Did you used to play it in Windowed mode? To do so, did you put "-w" or "-window" in the target field under the properties of the game's shortcut? Or did you modify an ini file in the system folder to change it out of fullscreen mode? If you open the files in your systems folder in wordpad, one of them might say "StartFullscreen=" By default it has a 1 next to it, which would mean that fullscreen is activated. If it says "Fullscreen=0", that means you previously changed it so that it would open in windowed mode.

If there was no option for windowed mode in the games menus, you most likely would have had to use one of these methods to get it to play that way.

I've never played Oblivion, so I can't be sure.

I actually just learned about all of this this week in my attempts to play The Longest Journey and Shadow of Destiny in wondowed mode. It's impossible with Shadow of Destiny, but possible with TLJ.

 

You change the windowed mode through the options setting on the splash screen, did you check there?

 

oh sweet! thanks i didnt check there cause i totally thought that the menus where the same on thoughs 2 for the graphics and game play options
