    Execute Problem

    I have got Visual C++ 6.0 compiler on my pc at home that I got from uni under a university shared licence.

    My problem is that I changed the settings when I execute the program so that it automatically comes up in full-screen and I have no options (that I can see) to revert it back to a smaller screen. I have tried the help functions but I need the original disk (which I haven't got).

    Anyone got any ideas? I have been living with it for weeks now and it is now starting to annoy me.

    Cheers

    Marc

    Press Alt+V to open the View Menu and click full screen.

    It don't matter how we make it
    'Cause it always ends the same
    You can push it for more mileage
    But your flaps r' wearin' thin
    And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
    But this nightmare never ends
    Don't forget to call my lawyers
    With ridiculous demands
    An you can take the pity so far
    But it's more than I can stand
    'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
    Tell me how long has it been
    'Cause 5 years is forever
    An you haven't grown up yet

    It doesn't seem to want to work when I do that, the problem is that I have a full screen now and I want to covert back to a smaller window but I have no control over the mouse and there isn't a tool bar now.

    Cheers for trying though, any other ideas?

    I guess your screwed. I put my MSVC++ 6.0 into full screen mode and closed the toolbar and then figured out how to get out of full screen mode.
