Any way to make games run full screen/higher res on intel iMac?

Hi,
I just got i 17" intel imac and am pleased with it exept that all the games run with a black band down either side of the screen and only seem to play at 1024 x 768. Is there any way of isorting this out? Doom 3 for example keeps returning to 800 x 600 if i change the settings?
Thanks.

take a look at this thread, you can find some useful info about running old and some new games on Booklet there.

  • Any way to make a running header use the last used of 2 different styles?

    I have a book that has a different Chapter Name style dependent upon whether the chapter starts recto or verso. I wanted all the chapters to be in the same document, but I'd need to be able to have the header variable itself be variable.
    Thanks for any insight!

    Not with ID variables.
    This is one of the (many) features of Power Headers. We call them 
    "Alternate Styles".

    Periodically delete all apps from the recently-used bar (double clickHome button) and power off and then back on the iPod. With iOS 5, the iPod uses more memory (do not confuse with storage) and periodically you have to reclaim memory for use.

    if you help me ill be gratful,sorry for my bad eng.
    Thankx

    If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
    By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

    Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
    I don't believe you...

  • Automatically run full screen?

    My Captivate simulation has to be run full screen. Rather
    than having a page with links where the learner can click, the
    links must be embedded into a PowerPoint presentation (I know, I
    know, but that's what they want). My client wants to avoid having
    the Internet Explorer window open with a "Click here ... full
    screen" link. I can think of know way to put that in a PPT file, so
    I'm wondering if anyone has made the IE window redirect to the full
    screen version with a re-direct code (or something) to
    automatically launch the simulation in full screen. (Whew! Does
    that make sense?)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi LJezsik and welcome to the forums!
    Full screen in the browser is only available by opening a new
    window (hence the "Full Screen" link) or by embedding a custom
    ActiveX control.
    I'd rule out the ActiveX option, since it's both technically
    challenging (I saw it done once, but don't know how) and would only
    work for Internet Explorer anyhow.
    That leaves the new window approach. A redirect is not an
    option... the "full screen" can only be applied while a window is
    first opening and even then only when the window is opened by
    Javascript.
    The best you could hope for is to open a page that
    immediately opens another page in full screen, adding some verbiage
    to the first page that says something like "The content has opened
    in a new window. It is safe to close this window".
    A sample "autolauncher" page is included below as an example.
    It does not make use of the window.open() method's "fullscreen"
    parameter since in IE6 that does not seem to give the user a way of
    closing the new window once it's open. You can easily change this
    by setting the parameter to yes in the code below.

  • Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

    The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave  projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

    It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

  • Any Way to Make an Action Require Authentication?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to make an Automator action require user authentication before running? Before some of my actions execute, I want the OSX authentication screen to pop up, the way it does during software installation, when the Mac wakes from sleep, when a user tries to change something in the System Preferences, and so on. I'd also like to make sure that before these particular Automator actions run, they accept authentication from a particular user only. That way, other users won't be able to copy the actions in question to their own accounts and run them after authenticating with their own passwords.
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    If you get a dump of a script application such as:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFEE80;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    property PropertyString : "this is some testing text"
    set GlobalString to "this is a global text string"
    SomeHandler(GlobalString)
    log result
    on SomeHandler(SomeText)
    set HandlerString to "this is a local text string"
    if SomeText is not "PASSWORD" then
    return "FAIL"
    else
    return "OK"
    end if
    end SomeHandler
    </pre>
    ... at the beginning of the resource fork you can clearly see the text strings defined and their variable names. I don't particularly want to know enough about AppleScript tokens to tell what the specific code statements are, but in this example I can see enough to make some guesses about a password dialog.
    Since these kinds of things are still readable in a run-only script, if one isn't going to use something like a keychain and has to put in some kind of password test, care must be taken to obfuscate the related items so that a casual glance doesn't give things away. Dynamically building any check strings and dialog texts, not using obvious variable names, and scattering code across multiple handlers will make it harder to guess what the password is.

  • Classic makes fans run full speed

    I think this is new. When I run Classic my fans run full speed (10.4.8 G5 iMac 20") with any of the kid's games. I've done the SMU reset, blown dust from vents, tried different power settings. I think blowing out the dust reduced fan use in OS X, but not in classic.
    Thermograph data suggests the fans are behaving appropriately, so I think the system is running hotter than in the past. Anyone have other ideas? Anyone else seeing this classic behavior?

    Have a look at one post I made some months ago :
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1621311#1621311
    I discovered that going back to Classic from one user to the other make a large use of CPU (80 to 90%) thus rising the temperature and conversly the fan...
    If you open classic in one enironnment that's not true. Check it with Acivity Monitor.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can we put INDEXES on Views if not Is there any way to make it Index bas

    Hi
    I am running a query in which there are several views involved in the join condition Can we put INDEXES on Views in ORACLE 9i if not Is there any way to make it Index based views beacuse the result that i am getting is very slow and is eating like 10gb of the temp tablespace.
    Thanks

    No, you cannot put indexes on a view. Think about what a view is, a stored sql statement. Oracle has no way of knowing what rows are in a view until it actually runs the view. So, even if you could, Oracle would need to run the view to get the rows, build the index, then run your query a second time using the index. Seems counter productive to me. A view can use indexes on the underlying tables if appropriate.
    Generally speaking, I would say that a query that makes use of multiple views is probably really inefficient. Often, you are only looking for one or two columns from a view which may require joining several tables whose columns are of no use in the main query. I would start by re-writing the query using the base tables, and only using those tables that are actually required to answer the question.

  • Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger in Mac OS X?

    Wow, love my 27" screen, but have trouble finding the cursor! Is there any way to make the cursor appear larger? Perhaps adjustable for fine print capture?
    Thanks!

    System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Mouse -> Cursor size
    However, I prefer using Mouse Locator (free download)

    I like this Mouse Locator Graphic

  • KIN TwoM - Any way to get games on this phone?

    I there any way to get games on this phone?  Haven't read any reviews on this topic and everything on the net about this topic is 6 months old.

    If you really want to play games on your kin and have an internet connection you can try these Javascript games:

    The games that use a lot of animation do not work well, but strategy games do. If you find one that you like just pin it to your home screen.

    I'm not techinal so please bear with me. I don't have the bar that allows me to type in a website. I did have a few minutes ago. When I make the page full screen and move my cursor to the top of the page, the bar drops down and I can use it. I've tried restarting my computer, didn't work. Help!

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes
