    Graphics Card: Mobile Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.0)

    When I try to enable the Large Screen in options menu - It pops up an error:

    ------------------------------

    Screen resolution error

    ------------------------------

    Your screen is too small to use

    in this scale mode.

    ------------------------------

    Dismiss

    ------------------------------

     

    Also, after running TPT on fullscreen(Which fits TPT in a small space while the rest of the screen is blank) - Pinned Icons on my Windows 7 taskbar get crammed on one side though there's a lot of space avalable. It does that until I reboot my computer.

    With the simulation being 612x384, you'd need a 1224x786 screen *at least*, and then there are other controls, the window border and the taskbar as well. You just can't turn Large screen on on a 1024x768 screen. Large screen really just multiplies everything by 2. You best bet would be Fullscreen.

     

    If I were in your place, I'd simply restart explorer.exe. I've never seen it do that, so there might be a more sophisticated solution I'm not aware of.

    It seemed to work before.
