I am using the Video Poker for Winners! version 1.77B. I cannot make the video poker window to go full screen. The window is only about 6" X 6". Is this normal, or am I not seeing how to enlarge the screen.

Thanks for your Time

Mike

It's normal, and there's no way around it. You could change your screen resolution while running that software, and i can be near full screen, although the image quality will suffer.

I always get a kick out of people blaming Dancer for the software problems. It's just like blaming Michael Jordan if your basketball shoes don't fit.

Their tech support is great - I contacted them at 9:00 p.m. Saturday night and they were back to me in 5 minutes.

I may be incorrect, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the size can be changed by using the emulator. Not certain of the specifics, but if you right click on the program Icon, (not shortcut) and go to the program properties, than you can change the version and emulate an older operating system to run it.

I'd suggest contacting technical support, or wait for someone with more computer knowledge than moi. I know I've done this with other "old" software and it runs fine now.

I didn't see where the OP was blaming Bob Dancer for the software problems, he was just calling out the program by it's name. How else was he to mention it?
BTW, one can't fault Michael Jordan for ill fitting sneakers but MJ does have a lot to do with them being so expensive.

In XP there is a compatibility mode, win 7 is supposed to have the same offering. It may help, however as RT suggested, tech support could already have the answer.
