Alt-Enter makes programs full screen.  

That's just the tip of the iceberg with XP, however.  NT/2000/XP assert
very aggressive control over hardware resources and that messes with
TR's timing, because it's designed to access hardware directly.  Windows
98 is a much better choice.

I tried TRLog with my new Windows XP machine for the first time
yesterday
and ran into a few problems...

I was unable to increase the size of the TRLog window by any normal
means.
The TRLog window would only reduce in size by dragging the borders, and
clicking the maximize button just shifted the window the upper left hand
corner of the screen.  XP allows you to emulate previous versions of
Windows
and reduce the resolution of some programs through
Properties>Compatibility tab options, but TRLog did not respond to
changes
to any
of these settings. I also attempted to modify the font and window size,
without results.

I was finally able to increase
the TRlog window to full screen size by using options under the TR
Properties > Screen tab, BUT I then noticed that the TRLog clock had
slowed
significantly. I thought that other applications might be causing the
clock
to slow so I made sure that TR was the only program running, but the
clock
was still slow...and by slow I mean approximately 1/2 speed.  Returning
the
TRLog window to "normal size" returned the clock to normal speed...go
figure.

Has anyone else experienced this or know of a way to adjust the size of
the
TRLog window on Windows XP? The program seems to be working fine, but as
it
is the TRLog window is fixed at approximately 30% of my viewable screen
area. I would like to improve upon that if possible.

Thank you and 73,
