Suddenly my pre-installed Pinball game only play at 1/2 screen.. When
I click the options to go to full screen, the monitor goes black then
comes back as half screen again...??? Whats going on...Something in
the registry I could change to fix ?? Thanks..

May just be a temporary glitch in your display drivers. The hook for the
different display is not taking hold and reverts back to normal. Try
logging off/logging on or a regular restart. Then try the game again.

I have two games installed that use different display technologies. If I
switch too fast between them, the same thing happens. Once the problem
appears, the methods above resolve the problem.

Pressing F4 will toggle full screen/windowed screen for the Pinball game
that comes with XP.

if you want a good pinball game spend $10 and find Sierra
Thrillride. uses gamepad or keyboard has lots of
settings and tons of features. full screen and audio is
real good. stores best scores. stable in xp env.
