one ??

Thanks

Well, it should be Alt-Enter, just like in all previous versions of Windows.
However, when I try it on my laptop here Alt-Enter in CMD causes a
blue-screen stop!

I've bugged this (Feedback ID=159603).

Back in the old days, we just press alt + enter at the same time to make
an app go full screen in Windows. Either that or go edit the program
properties to tell it to launch full screen only. cmd.exe should be
under your Vista install directory, then under system32.

When I use Alt + Enter I get a message saying "This system does not support
fullscreen mode."

Hmm. I just get a message that "This system does not support full-screen mode."

Wow - I just tried the full-screen bit - got a message box saying that
full-screen is not to be supported.
I hope this is only temporary, and will become supported in the final
release.

I *also* get the blue screen crash on pressing Alt+Enter.

I received back a generic reply from the "Suggest fix" saying that it's a
driver problem. If it's my video driver, I have a Radeon 9200 SE/MCE (I
think, it's a media center, couple years old, 3.0ghz-ht).

Is there a way to report bugs in this OS? There's a tool which seems to be
for viewing bug report solutions, but not for submitting bugs. Or is that
what the newsgroup is for??

I realize I'm using an old beta (beta 2?? The one they shipped with the
Action Pack) so my bug reports might not mean much.
