OK so this is going to be a real simple question for some of you. I installed portal last night and set it up. This is brilliant software thank you guys keep it up. Anyway this is what is happening.

After install and importing I went into the setting and started to change things, which I really should not have but couldn't resist. When ever I start portal now it start in a window and not full screen any more. Where can I fix this?

Please help as I don't want to uninstall and have to reimport everything again, not a major issue but just to save time.

    Configuration -> general -> startup/resume settings -> tick 'Start MediaPortal in fullscreen mode' (for MP1.2.0, not sure if it's the same place for 1.1.3 but it's there somewhere)

    Configuration -> general "start MP fullscreen"

    For 1.1.3 only :)

    alt-enter switches between window and fullscreen anyway, but will stop media playback.

    Thread was in UNAPPROVED state.
    I approved it now.

    Tony/Ray, not sure if you intentionally unapproved it or just missed it.
    Just let me know if it was intentionally and I will reverse again :)

    i get that too, and have set to 'Start in Full Screen' but it starts minimised and i can't maximise. Gets worse if I select 'Keep MP on top' as i'm then prevented for ending task in task manager....weird thing is that i can hear clicks as a use remote, but MP stuck on minimise...changed back to Wide Blue and works OK (was on Streamed MP).

    Try the wiki

    General - MediaPortal Wiki

    Do you have 'minimise to tray on startup' enabled?
