vista problem: Call of Juarez doesn't run maximized

[dwarf]

Hi guys

I would be really really grateful if anyone has ideas about this problem I'm having with tpubench's call of juarez dx10 plug-in.

For whatever reason, about half the time the Call of Juarez dx10 bench will run fine and maximzed from tpubench. The other half of the time, Call of Juarez starts in a window (non-full-screen, large window), which of course, throws my benchmarks off.

I don't know why it does this and would really like to know if anyone has any ideas of how I can get around this problem.

Thanks

Vista sucks!

Vista sucks!

You're right, 64-bit is even worse :)

Anyone got dx10 working with C.O.J. ?

What hardware are you using? I know there was one demo/benchmark I downloaded that wouldn't let me run it in full screen because I didn't have enough video memory.

i heard from someone that you cant run games in full screen mode within vista if you have Aero up and running! Try turning off Aero to the productivity mode, i think thats what its called ????
AKA(run in "classic" gui). Otherwise, i don't know, im trying to stay away from Vista as long as possible.

Yes, turn off aero! I've never had any problems. Vista does suck, but you can get it to run like XP.

Thanks for the help guys, turning off aero did the trick :)
