This Game Will Not Minimize Properly
I am using a Netbook. This game refuses to use any resolution (under Set-up) Other than 800x600 FULL SCREEN. It will not give me the whole window if I uncheck full screen, it will shrink my window down and my menus are cut off in anything smaller than that. I can't move the window to, say the middle of the screen since it does not allow me to touch the top bar to drag the darn thing anywhere.
I would like to not have to run this game full screen. I enjoy doing multiple things at once, and this lack of function under the Setup.exe is quite vexing.
Is there a solution for this mess?

Most windows can be dragged by holding alt and dragging anywhere on the window rather than using the top. Try that.

It sounds like you don't have the Mouse Freedom attachment. You can download that to move the mouse out of the client window, but it doesn't alwas work. The other thing you could do to move the client is hit ctrl + esc, then move the cursor to where the top bar is, the pointer will disappear, and click on it, then you can move it.

I've tried both of those things with no luck =/ The fact that I can't make the window smaller than the 800x600 is a pain in the butt too.

=/ This is crap. It will not let me play normally in anything other than full screen.
Nonfull screened 800x600 is too large and won't let me see the chat input log.
Anything bloody smaller and the chatlog is too low to get to, and the menus are cut off.
/sigh

Have you turned it to window mode at all in the setup menu by unchecking the fullscreen button?

Dood, you are using a tiny net book, those puny little computers can't handle the awesomeness that is RO! Or so I've heard.

pro's play fullscreen anyway.. Or so I've heard. Icon_smile

Edit: to be somewhat helpful.. it might be limited by your actual video card/software config.. try updating drivers maybe.. then make sure you're running more than 800x600 for your actual desktop config.

I'd suggest you use the custom resolution of ROExt if you want to play Fullscreen without having to check Fullscreen (or even set your own resolution)
