Title: Screen sizing on a netbook - HELP! Post by: Austruck on February 18, 2010, 03:24:02 am I own an Acer Aspire One netbook (10") with a widescreen (1024x600). When I started the game, among the various little helpful pointers was the word "MENU" that popped onto the screen for a few seconds, pointing to the bottom of the screen.
But, I cannot get to the menu because it's apparently BELOW where the bottom of my screen is. So I could not save my game or even exit properly and I had to Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out of the game, since I couldn't seem to find any typical keyboard shortcuts (like Q or Ctrl-Q) to quit and perhaps save on the way out. I don't want to restart the game on the netbook now until I'm sure I can tweak the screen size or something so it will FIT the whole game screen onto the netbook screen without cutting off the bottom. (The top shows up fine -- with the inventory and hint areas working properly. It's just the bottom that gets cut off.) Any clues?? ---UPDATE--- I found another thread in here with this question -- seems I cannot use the menu option to get more than one saved game on the netbook but have to rely on "resume" instead. A bit miffed about this, but I'll probably get over it. :) Title: Re: Screen sizing on a netbook - HELP! Post by: ABoretz on February 18, 2010, 08:14:30 am I own an Acer Aspire One netbook (10") with a widescreen (1024x600).... Any clues?? You can view the game only in 100% mode (1250x790) or 80% mode (1000x632). But maybe if you go to your Machinarium icon (desktop or whereever), right click on it to go to Properties, you might be able to find a workable fix. Good luck!
