    I'm on Windows 8 and works fine, though with horrid aspect ratio, for me on full screen. Have tried using alt-enter?

    Also, this thread is in the wrong place.

    It looks like your laptop or desktop is on a widescreen resolution. Do you have a widescreen laptop or monitor? I'd try running in a screen mode that is not widescreen.
    You may have to tweek your settings if your on a laptop so that it streaches your screen to fit non-widescreen resolutions. Try switching to 800x600 or 1024x768 and running the program in full screen then and see what happens.

    Do you know what graphics card you are currently using?

    Blue = Program
    Light blue = desktop
    Black = black border on screen

    The black bars are because the game is fixed at a 4:3 aspect ratio. So unless you change your resolution to fit you will have bars.

    As for the Windows frame appearing around the program that should not really appear but sometimes it will depending on the game and your video card. For me the window keeps blinking which is even more annoying. The game is poorly optimized and in an unfinished state, so there's not much you can do about it.

    I'm using AMD Radeon 8530m
    i already tried switching resolutions, it got rid of the black bars but it still has the window w/ the maximize minimize close buttons
    i guess mike406 was right XD the is in an unfinished state and i think it's because of windows 8 or maybe my graphics card or something..whatever it is causing the problem i'll just have to play it in windowed mode XD *sigh* I thank you for replying! ^ u ^

    - - Auto Merge - -

    Yeah i guess you're right...I'll just play on windowed mode, it doesn't bother me that much anyway, i just thought i was the only one having this problem lmao X)
    Thanks for the info and for the reply like really thanks! :) hehe
