Hello Frnds,

When I try to switch a console to fullscreen in Windows 7, it gives the error This system does not support fullscreen mode. Of note is the part about "this system", intimating that some systems do support fullscreen consoles. Similarly, if you try to use the SetConsoleDisplayMode API function, it returns error 120: This function is not supported on this system., again with the "this system".

Most systems could do fullscreen consoles in Windows XP, and it works in Windows 7's Safe Mode, so what the heck does Windows 7 need for this to work in a normal mode?

Any help would be appreciated. Thnks in Advance.

Greetings,

The program you try to run in full screen is an older windows wp program. Try to change the compatibility to see if the problems still exists.
Refer to the foolowing link:

When I tried to change compatibility then the option are disabled there with the message "Compatibility mode can not be set on this program because it is the part of the windows."
