Well my system was working fine, running along in fullscreen without incident. Today however is a different story. I am running on AMD trinity A10-WIN7 with the APU graphics- As long as I disable explorer.exe it will run quite smooth. Now back tot he issue. I did not have the issue at all for the last week, then today it started. Thus far it will not go fullscreen without blacking everything out. I use alt+enter to switch between the two fullscreen or windowed mode. This is how I finally got BF3 to go fullscreen as well as NFS:MostWanted and BF4. Occaisionally during the beta for BF4 and BF3 this exact same issue would occur on both games. I think it is a common issue that is directx related. Meaning it is in the actual DirectXAPI and has been there then since DX10 when I first started to notice games having the same issue. Usually a quick alt+enter will fix it, if not then disable any remote connection software you have, i.e. teamviewer or others they cause issue with Directx as they want to share the screen and load into every app you load. I have fixxed a few issues with this one. I am going to try it right now, as I usually disable it all the time. Yep it fixed the issue. SO here are the steps to get it working right...
1. Disable teamviewer using task manager or do not load it at all and restart your computer.
2. If you had teamviewer loaded kill the DWM from task manager. it will restart automatically flushing the video cache for the windows management system.
3. After you have completed the steps above restart NFS: Rivals and if it does not come up in fullscreen hit ALT+Enter. and it should scale right up to fullscreen mode.
By the way I am 8 weeks from a Bachelors Degree in Software Engineering and I am looking for a Job....
