Re: XY Full Screen in XP

["Fred Weiner" fw1948@xxxxxxxx]

Carl, no, it doesn't help. The ctrl-alt-enter combo does bring VMWare itself into full screen from (what VMWare calls) "single window." Running VMWare in "single window" maximized looks like full screen anyway. Bringing VMWare into "full screen" has no appreciable effect on the XY window running within it. For VMWare running WXP, the XP alt-enter combo applies for toggling any window within XP to full screen, and, as I've said, produces the miniaturized-in-a-sea-of-black effect. The black is my own desktop color; it would be minuaturized in whatever the XP desktop color/image is. I appreciate your input, Carl. FW.

That's still a GUI (graphical) window you have there. I know zilch
 about VMware, but a quick search of Google Groups indicates that the

 VMware keystroke to toggle full screen is Ctrl-Alt-Enter (not Alt-
 Enter). Does that help?
