Can't full-screen RDP session window?

Hi, I'm using Win7 to RDP to an AWS WinServer2012 box. I need to view RDP session full screen. Checked RDP -> Display configuration, which is set to Full Screen. My machine's resolution is set to 1680x1050.
I checked the Screen Resolution on the server and see "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session." Also, resolution shows a greyed-out 1280x705, under which is a ! Your resolution is lower than 1024 x 768. Some items might not
fit and apps might not open.
Any leads?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all suggest you to increase RDP version of client windows 7 to RDP 8.1. in addition for a try you can change the .RDP file setting and check whether you can use full screen in remote desktop session. For this you need to change the desktop height and
weight under .RDP file as below.
desktopwidth:i:<set to screen width>
desktopheight:i:<set to screen height>
Kindly go through beneath article for detail.

Remote desktop 8.0.14 (and prior) full screen RDweb session, screen pushed down by Mac Menu bar, mouse pointer on wrong position

Hi
On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, there is a clear bug on the Microsoft Remote desktop app when
a) remoting into a Windows server that is set to display full screen
b) when you are logging in using a RDweb server aka RDS 2012.
After logging in to the remote server, the full screen representation of the server desktop has the following issues:
- The Mac Launchpad is still visible over the Windows desktop, making that part of the Windows desktop impossible to reach.
- The published screen is pushed down about 15 pixels. It is pushed down by the Mac's menu that also remains visible.
When I directly remote into the same server using traditional direct RDP (Not via the RDweb, gateway setup) the screen positions correctly.
I guess: Somehow the Remote desktop app (8.0.14) does not seem to get the message from the server that this is a full screen session? Is there some information that the connection Broker or Gateway is not passing allong to
the client?
I have replicated this many times. It is the same whether I connect to a 2012 server or to a 2008 server.

Hi,
For a try you can use URI scheme for the specified desktop screen or full screen and check the result. You can refer the following article for information.
Remote Desktop Client URI Scheme Support
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690096.aspx
Apart if you have RD Gateway setup then you can try the option for RD Gateway to uncheck “Bypass RD Gateway for Local address” and verify result.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Problems launching Full Screen QT7 in Windows... help?

I have been testing full screen video over the web using QT7. It works awsome in Mac, but I am dealing with odd bugs in widnows - so here goes.
This page: http://www.24frets.com/testing/
Works fine, but the controller that appears on full screen doesn't show the chapter tracks - I am guessing that this feature down't work in the Windows version? (The chapters appear in the QT player window, just not full screen. It works fine in both on a Mac.)
Also, the second video clip after the "Rock n Roll TV" title, (roping dogies), often appears over a white background even though the background is set for #000000
On this page: http://www.24frets.com/testing/index2.html
The movie that is called when you click on the poster frame in the web browser is a QTL file that calls the previous full screen movie. (I did that to get quicktime to close when the movie is finished and return to the web page.)
On my Mac, I occasionaly get a QT crash when I call it, then it works the next time - that may be an odd error - can't nail it down.
On windows, it launches with the volume at zero. I had a volume="100" parameter in the QTL file but nothing helps.
Are these known bugs in the Windows QT7?
I noticed that on the first testing page, the sound played fine even though the controller shows the volume down, on the second page there was no sound but it came back up when you raised it with the floating controller.
Thanks in advance - people are amazed at the full screen quality, and the data rates are around 720kbps - YEAH! Now if I can just debug the Windows version.
Also the movie that plays full screen is a SMIL file for quicktime.

Hmm, you may be onto something regarding the repair permissions thing. The authorization issue is happening when even putting together a movie that has more than one song from itms (and if you go to trim it, you end up in an endless loop between iMovie and iTunes— FUN!). There's a whole 'nother thread on it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1079288&tstart=0
I did report it as a bug however. One other person in that thread was able to duplicate the issue at an Apple store on one of their machines. One would assume they go through the steps you do before installing software (assume tht is).

Images maximize (full screen) when switching windows?

When working with two or more images in Fireworks CS3 (Mac OSX 10.5.7)....
The image windows blast into full screen display when switching between images. I am new to CS3, (convert from Studio 8) but cannot find where to stop this irritating behaviour. I can correct by selecting Window>>Cascade - temporarily... But, when I click on another image window, that image blasts into full-screen again.
How can I stop this?
I really hate posting (usually preferring instead to lurk and scour the answers to my questions from previous posts). But, I am forced to post this question in hopes of a quick, simple solution to stop the lurching madness that makes me feel queasy every time my screen blasts an image into full screen mode..
Any help is appreciated... really, it is. :-)

OK, this is possibly a bug.
After restarting today, the problem did not occur until about an hour working with FW.
A restart did NOT stop it. So, I restarted again and tried three different files... It was fine for a while and then started the same thing again.
I am starting to lose hope that it is something I can do to prevent this. It appears that FW and Carbon are not playing together nicely.

Cannot broadcast full screen games on Windows 7 64bit

I'm going to be as descriptive as possible in this. I'm running a dual-boot system (one OS Windows 7 64 bit, the other Windows XP 32 bit)
I'm using ManyCams (but i've also tried Supercam, WebcamMax, and VHscrcap) as my virtual cam on both OS and FME. I've installed both programs on both operating systems the exact same way. I use the same exact settings for both, and I've made sure my video card drivers are up to date on both. Whenever I try to broadcast to any website (I'll use Justin.tv for this question) On the Windows 7 64 bit OS, i can capture my whole screen and everything just fine, until i go into a full screen game. I dont mean a game that's in windowed mode and taking up the whole screen, i mean a game that's running in full screen mode. The entire screen is black on the stream, but not on my monitor (obviously) until i alt-tab out of the game. Then the stream is fine and it's my desktop again. I can't capture my full screen games on my Windows 7 64bit OS. If I try this the exact same way on my XP 32 bit, it works fine with 0 problems.
Just to rule these out, it's not a problem with my internet or my specs. Take my word for it.
So, any takers on this? Is it just completely unfixable on W7 64bit or is there just something i'm missing here.
Thanks

At least you can broadcast at all I have been trying pretty much all day to get mine to stop crashing whenever I try to use my Dazzle dvc 100.. and yes I'm using windows 7 64 bit.. It worked on my old labtop that was Vista..and it still works on that but its too slow.. and its frustrating when I know I have everything I need installed and it wont work on my new labtop ._.

IPhoto 6.0.5 - No full screen; no edit windows

For some reason the Edit windows for exposure, etc., have disappeared. I checked "help" and find that I can neither switch to a full screen nor see the "edit" buttons after hitting "edit." All I get are the "enhance", "crop," etc. I know I had these before, but now they are not available. Any ideas to correct? thanks.

Why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion, why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion

i have a cinema display and i just downloaded the new mac os x lion. the problem is that i can't use full screen with my display, when i push the full screen button the app moves to my macbook, but i want it to stay at the display.

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.

Full Screen Mode with Window Tabs? (Mac)

I have never been able to use Full Screen Mode / Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar because my Window Tabs disappear.
Until now I have ignored this but I really want to start making the most of my screen space. I don't understand how people can go into full screen mode without tabs of their open documents. It makes the experience completely useless to me and I can't believe I can't find any solutions online. I feel like I am overlooking a simple button somewhere on the screen thinking "surely Adobe would include this!?"
Please help.
I am currently on 13 inch MacBook Pro using CS6 beta.

Thanks for the reply, but I already know of this 'workaround', and it isn't a solution for me. There is no functionality in cycling through windows with no idea when you will arrive at the correct PSD. I usually have quite a few open at the same time and I am constantly skipping between them nice and simply with the tabs...Please Adobe just add an option for tabs, all the other components of the layout are optional in full screen, why not tabs?
Putting in a feature request for tabs in full screen mode is a good idea. One thing Photoshop could do in full screen mode is reveal the menu bar and tabs when the mouse is near the top of the screen. This is sort of an ad-hoc standard in tabbed apps like Chrome and Firefox. Even Adobe Photoshop Lightroom reveals the menu bar in this way, but Photoshop continues to use the same full screen behavior that it had back in the 1990s, when it was one of the few full-screen apps available.
One workaround is to turn off Window > Application Frame, and when you're in full screen mode use Lion's Mission Control to pick a specific window. This works even better if you use or assign a shortcut to view the windows of a single application.
c.pfaffenbichler wrote:
how does everyone else cope?
As a career-long Mac-user I am not accustomed to tabs and therefore don’t need or use them.
Tabs have been in Mac apps, such as Apple Safari and Final Cut Pro, for many years.

Can view full screen anymore

This is ticking me off to no end. When I click on a movie it won't play in the little video viewer in the lower left corner. Also when I click to play a movie and it shows up in a separate window it won't let me view it full screen. What the heck is going on?
Before I upgraded and clicked on a movie or tv show it would always play in the little viewer in the lower left corner and whenever I clicked on that it would let me go to full screen in the new window.
How can I change this?
As an addendum there are some movies where I can do this and others where I cannot. Help!

Hudson, here's the problem though: When I do switch it to "Artwork Viewer" and then click on the artwork viewer a separate window comes up playing the movie(s) as it did before I upgraded.
When the separate window comes up, I'll scroll over the movie and the control panel comes on screen as with before. However now when I click on the arrows that make it full screen the movie itself completely disappears but I can still hear the audio. Whenever I clicked on the arrows before it always went to the full screen, movie playing. I assume that this is a bug of some kind but do you have any ideas of what I may or may not be doing?

How To get Full screen mode on windows 8.1

I've download Firefox Aurora, and i can't get the application running in metro style (full screen app).
The Aurora version : 27.0a2 (2013-11-15)
what to do ?

hello oxxym.s, please refer to [[How do I install Windows 8 (Metro-style) Firefox?]] (when the article talks about nightly, it's the same for aurora).

Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?

Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
Anyone able to advise me please?

Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself...

How do I shrink back from full screen to normal window in Safari?

How do I shrink a full screen back to a normal window in Safari?

Safari 8
When the window is in FullScreen mode, move the mouse over to the top of the screen.
When the window navigational buttons slide in from the left, click the green button.
By the way, this thread is two years old.

How Can watch full screen movie from my Ipad to my tv ?

Sync it to your computer:

You'll need to do that to burn it to a DVD, and a sync via iTunes is probably the most direct method.

Need to make browser full screen and close window

I need a script to make users browser display the course in full screen. Also need a button that user can click to exit the course. The captivate one is not working.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I hope you do realize that this could lead to a (great) decrease in quality? As Captivate is all about bitmaps you only have optimal quality when the published SWF is watched in the resolution it was created in.
You can by tweaking the HTML-file and changing width/height to 100%.
Whereas closing: this is not only depending on Captivate but almost totally on the browser, there is a thread in the FAQ about it.
