Skyrim starts only in window-mode

Post » Tue Oct 07, 2014 4:29 pm

Hey, I have a problem with my skyrim. Everytime I start it, it swtiches in windowmode...

But in my options is 1920x1080 and 16:9, windowmode is false...

I reinstalled game so far, looked for my graphic driver and started it with admin, nothing helped...

What could I do else? Thanks for reading this horrible english till end...

Go to: C: \ Users \ [ your name ] \ Documents \ My Games \ Skyrim

and open the SkyrimPrefs.ini file.

There must be those lines in there:

bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920

If not, add them...

--------------or

Delete your SkyrimPrefs.ini and restart Skyrim configuring your resolution again.

--------------or

If you run the game from TESV.exe or SkyrimLauncher.exe

Right click on either TESV.exe or SkyrimLauncher.exe, go to compatibility tab, and check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" - Apply - OK.

I did all of that before, but retried it, nothing helped... I also started it in Windows 7/XP Mode, nothing helped...

Delete your two skyrim ini files again.

Restore your GPU default settings - (through your graphics card control panel)

Verify your game cache files: -> https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

question:

What's your monitor native resolution ??? (your highest possible monitor resolution)

Is it 1920x1080 ???

------------------- if the same occurs

Clean your registry with Ccleaner: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner

Start windows 7 in a clean boot environment -> http://support.turbine.com/link/portal/24001/24001/Article/88/How-do-I-perform-a-Clean-Boot-of-Windows
