If that doesn't work, move down the line. Or conversely, you can just tick 'Run in 640x480 screen resolution to see it that at least gets the game to run. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/this-system-does-not-support-fullscreen-mode-when-trying-to-play-video-game#post-45275 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:04:28 +0000 catfishindylan 45275@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>no we havent tried compatibility mode and 640x480 mode, and what is that??and how do i find that? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/this-system-does-not-support-fullscreen-mode-when-trying-to-play-video-game#post-45273 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:59:03 +0000 Scott 45273@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>And you've tried compatibility mode and 640x480 mode?<br /> Keep in mind some older games will run in Vista but not in full screen mode. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/this-system-does-not-support-fullscreen-mode-when-trying-to-play-video-game#post-45270 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:50:46 +0000 catfishindylan 45270@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>We just got a new computer for our monitor and its a windows vista.Ever since we got it ive been trying to get the pc game "Blood" to play, but i gave up because i keep receiving the same error "This system does not support full-screen mode, choose close to terminate the program".Blood is an old game but the only video game i will play on the computer &#38; in the house and i hope to get it to play again.Ive been looking on line trying to find out the problem and how to fix it,and did try to post for the topic on the same error before but,that one had ended.I just found this site as my best bet and hope to get some awsnsers on the problem,Thanks,</p> <p>Dylan </p>
