Widescreen Gaming Forum

The graphics of Football Manager 2007 suck on my 15.4" widescreen of my Toshiba laptop...
Is there a solution for this problem ?

Thanks :D

errr, buy a new graphics card? better monitor?

You cant jus say 'graphics suck' and expect soutions to fly in ... ;s

I have a good pc, but it looks like the game has been expanded over the screen.
My graphics card is an X1600, so that can't be a problem...

You need to use a command line function on the shortcut icon.

Right click on the icon you use to run the game and select properties. On the shortcut tab there will be a box labelled Target which will contain the location of the FM2007 program eg mine says:

C:GamesFM2007fm.exe

Now to that box you need to add two commands;

--fullscreen_height=N

replacing N with the desired height and

--fullscreen_width=N

again replacing N with the desired width. (There are two dashes at the start of each command.)

For example my shortcut now reads:

C:GamesFM2007fm.exe --fullscreen_height=1200 --fullscreen_width=1920

(Dell 2407FPW :D )

You might find the first few splash screens are surrounded by a border but once you get to load game screen evrything will be OK. Be warned the fonts may look very small but the pitch will be the correct ratio, (it'll have extra space behind the goals.)

thanx for the solution buddy but is there any way to get these damn fonts any bigger?? I have the same monitor..

have any good skins circulated that may have a bigger font..

Its ok, I found a temporary solution until a skin with bigger fonts comes out. 1920x1200 is way to small even on a 24" wide monitor so I set the monitor options to Aspect in Image Settings and gave the game a 1680x1050 reasolution the stretches automatically until the borders of the screen. Works like a charm.
My shortcut looks like this "R:Games InstallationSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2007fm.exe" --fullscreen_height=1050 --fullscreen_width=1680

thanx for the initial tip hardeep ;)

hardeep i changed the target command adding the fullscreen commands but it wouldnt let me apply it , do i have to change the games fm.exe aswell as the shortcut ???

I am a noob at these things .

No - adding to the shortcut should be fine. I had a play with mine and if you don't have a space after fm.exe it won't apply.

Perhaps if you copy and paste the text in the Target box of your shortcut here I may be able to spot something.

Cheers hardeep thats all it was i left 2 spaces this time and bingo it works great :D , now i can get back to improving the fortunes of newcastle utd .



Thanks again hardeep :D

Just got this acer al1916w and so far i am pleased with it and my xbox 360 games look great in 720P or 1080i using the vga cable .
