Answer 1

there wasn't wrong with the demo, but well as we should have done in the first place demo software don't promise anything but for you to be their testers and commentators in the long run if you have become addicted to it. anyway, this happens usually when the graphics adapter resolution was change during gameplay and the game ends abnormally or even normally because there wasn't a call/procedure (inside the program demo itself) that enables the graphics adapter to return to its state which basically cause your screen to go on huge icons. but these errors are not critical try this solution if ever:

go to your desktop then right click anywhere but make sure not hitting any icons or bars!
then on the sub menu, select properties you will then be offered a new window the system properties window
then choose the settings tab then go to the screen resolution you can then move the slider up to the farthest right while moving you will notice that the resolution size number would change. it will move up to the most screen resolution your graphics adapter could go. then after choosing your resolution hit on apply then ok
a message box would ask you if you would accept the new settings basically you would

if you were unhappy about the new settings you can try to go all over again. if you have further problems, just let me know, in the meantime Good luck!!!

P.S. be aware of the shortcomings of demo softwares they never promised to work better than the normals. :)

----> these are usually caused by your current windows themes, try this:

right click(desktop) select properties then go to themes
try selecting your themes, if ever the one that calls the default returns you to the default settings, if it doesn't the windows default would do.

in terms for the mouse icons, move to control panel then choose mouse, here you can select the pointers you want, if you want to go back always choose default.

anyway if you are unsatisfied with the result, then going back the procedure would give you a hand.

Goodluck!!!

Answer 2

Firstly delete the demo game. Go into control panel and select Appearance and Themes. Select display and change the resolution. Again, whilst in Appearance and themes, you will see on the left hand side Mouse Pointers. Click that and select the pointer you want.

Answer 3

ok your problem is in the control panel... i have fixed this dozens of times your game demo resizes the screen to fit.... but it dosent resize back and you have to correct its problems...

heres the steps to follow..
1.go to control panel
2.click on the display icon
3.on the themes tab depending on what version click windows classic or, default...

that fixes the theme problem

now to fix your screen resolution

go to the settings tab and you should see a section that says screen resolution... scroll through those one by one until your screen returns to its original size...

and if your mouse is still a leaf after reverting the theme.. here how to fix that..

while still in control panel click on the mouse icon... and when it pulls up pointers click the defualt one...

that should straighten it all out..

Answer 4

looks like you downloaded some thing more than a demo...
R click on the desk top select properties then theams select windows default. you may have to play wiht the resolution aswell depending on the size of the screen you have...

Answer 5

My computer did this and what hapened was I had to turn it off and then on and it said did I want to start in safe mode. So I turned it off and on again and then just waited and clicked on the mouse and after awhile just resigned in. Doubt its that sim[le for yu but it sounds like maybe you took something out....but, I really dont know if im helping here?

Answer 6

right click on the desktop
click properties
you should see a window that has "Themes" in it.
put it back on Windows XP
then click settings at the top
slide the resolution bar to the left. many ppl have their resolution set to either 800x600
or 1024x768(smaller)

Click apply

Answer 7

Right click on the screen, go to settings, and change the Screen Resolution to make things smaller.

Answer 8

right click on the screen

click on "properties"

click on the tab "settings"

then there is an area which says "screen resolution" you can change it by moving the slider thing left or right.
i recommend using 1024 x 768 pixels

Answer 9

yeah ur computer is slow try ctrl alt del hold all buttons for 0.02 seconds then let go click on processes and end explorer.exe then click on file select run and type explorer.exe press enter if that doesn't work unstall the game n restart if that doesn't work u may possibly be screwed

Answer 10

Right-click anywhere blank on your desktop and choose properties, then 'settings' then screen resolution' and change it to say 1024x768, apply and click ok
