Full screen bug?

Sorry if this is something really simple that I am missing but I cant seem to run in full screen.
This is what Im seeing- http://i.imgur.com/sks2SBz.jpg
I tried upping the resolution to match my monitor settings but all that happened was the mouse pointer could no longer find the buttons on screen-everything was off by a height of roughly 5cm or so.

Go to: M2TW\mods\EBII
Open EBII.cfg in notepad(right click and edit).

Search for these and set to false:
windowed=false
borderless_window=false

Sounds like you need admin rights to your own system (not an EB2 issue)

Not a bug, a feature! You have "windowed mode" active. Find the .cfg file (either in the M2TW root directory or the EBII directory and change this setting:

windowed=true (or windowed=1)

to

windowed=false (or windowed=0)

Edit: Alin ninja's again!

Thanks a lot guys, it all works perfectly now. The speedy response is very much appreciated, after so many years work I wouldn't blame you guys for taking a few days off for some heavy drinking. The battle and campaign screens both look fantastic, you guys are genii.

yes but why we cant play in fullscreen even windowed if we have max res set ingame?

I tried these fixes but nothing is working for me. I did extract Aldin's fix to make my game work.

Guys a quick question on windowed mode, ive tried looking for the entry in the cfg file but its not there

Then just add it there under the [video] section.

Like this (in red)

Code: [View]

[video]
windowed=false
borderless_window=false
anisotropic_level=4
anti_alias_mode=off
antialiasing=0
assassination_movies=1
autodetect=0
battle_resolution=1024 768
bloom=1

Mine looks exactly like that but for some reason the fix won't occur. MY game still will not fill up the whole screen; only about 40-45% of it.

Ninja'd!

I'm trying everything but nothing seems to be working.

try this instead,
windowed = 1
borderless_window = 1
or vice versa

0 is false.
1 is true.

try it on the property's,it is set on minimal,set it on maximized.had the same issue

I can't open the file in notepad... o.0?

Nevermind, re-opened the game and it's in fullscreen somehow.

When I launch the game it is two times bigger than my screen, it.. zooms. I tried to edit EBII.cfg, but I could not open it with notepad - it wasn't an option. I also have this hs_err_pid3204 file on EB2 folder and it says something about JAVA threads and errors :/. I have done all the hotfixes.
