Help me play in full screen

Post » Wed Jan 02, 2013 1:02 am

Ever since I uninstalled Skyrim due to a mod on the workshop being permanent, I've been having issues playing in full screen. I removed all files of Skyrim including my saves and reinstalled it. Now, there is a boarder around the game when I play it and a bar on the top, almost like it's in a windowed mode at full screen. I play on a TV through a VGA and my PC isn't hooked up to any other monitor. I will attach a link to a picture I took of the problem. When I take a screen shot in game it doesn't show the bars going around, and print screen simply doesn't work, so that's why I took the photo with a camera.

I've tried:
  • Making sure windowed mode is not selected
  • Went into the SkyrimPref.ini file and entered 1 at the end of "b full screen:1"
  • Changed the H and W in the .ini file to my desktop resolution
  • Hit Alt+Enter in game
  • Updated all drivers
At this point I'm guessing there's not much else I can do, as every other game works perfectly fine. I'm aware this isn't a game breaking problem, but a nuisance to me nonetheless. Thank you for any help in advance, I appreciate it.

Make sure the mod is removed. Unsubscribe from it if you have to. Wipe out all of the mod's files and all of the INI files, even those in the Data directory. Then verify the files. Don't edit the INI files. Make sure Fullscreen mode is on. Report back if the issue continues.
