  Waiting on a proper technical answer instead of guessing what can be done and then nothing works again....

  Fixed my problem. Took 2 tries, all in the Game Settings. Unfortunately, you can't change that setting on the fly, you have to start a game, see if it's right and try again if it isn't.  :-)

  Thanks for those who wrote comments which helped

  At the end of the day I managed to get it back working - if 100% best who knows - but I can play.

  Cheers

  Hi, I accidently chose the wrong screen resolution, now the bottom part where the meter is has almost vanished, it`s only showing the very tip of the meter (as if the page needs "pushing up"). I can get into setting but the screen resolution word/link doesn`t respond when I click on it, can you help? I`m using a laptop and on windows 10, Firefox web browser.

  Thanks in anticipation!

  Don't click on the word 'resolution'. Click the arrows either side of the resolution value to the right.

  You can find your screen resolution here

  Scott, I don't know if you have checked this or not, but.

   

  My Recommended is 1920x1080 

  I run @ 1600x900

  In game is set to 1368x768 fullscreen

  This says my resolution is 1280x720

  Tho I think the ratios are all the same or pretty close, it reports incorrectly.  I didn't change anything to test if it changes, but the number it reports in not correct.

  All of this is on a 22 inch wide screen monitor, and in all cases the screen is full, no bars anywhere.  All except WGT and using fullscreen within browsers have taskbar across the bottom.  Any games I run on this computer and Steam fill the entire screen, as I have fullscreen selected in them.  Maybe curious what my Win10 machines reports as I do run it at 1920x1080.

  Agreed.  It says my resolution is 1536x864 (huh?), but I have it set in Windows to 1920x1080.  I would trust Windows over that web site.

  EDIT:  I think I found the issue.  If you divide 1920x1080 by my text size setting (125% or 1.25), you get 1536x864.

  Well I downloaded and tried to install the app . But I forgot what the hot keys were . And I can't find that damn post again . Lol .

  Paul, that app was specifically written for Eric, so it might not work for you, but the shortcut keys are..

  Alt + b for switching between the screen sizes 1920x1080 and 1024x768

  and...

  Alt + x for closing the app.

  Gary, Sam is correct in that if you have a custom scale set for your machine (to make the text bigger) then the screen resolution app takes that into account when reporting your numbers.

  Thanks for the repiy, it doesn`t allow me to click on anything including the right/left arrows.  The words "resolution" and "game mode" are unresponsive, all the other changes that can be made work fine?
