MrBackAlleySka Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hello all, I seem to have a slight problem, that may, or may not, have a fix. I used to own Exile 3, and I remember when I ran it maximised, I remember it covered the taskbar, except when I pressed the Windows Icon key to bring up the start menu, then the taskbar would show. However it'd cover the taskbar again when I clicked back to the game. Recentely I reinstalled Exile 3 (It was still registered o.o. Guess cause I registered it on the same computer, and it saved that fact in the registry or something heh) and now, even maximised fullscreen, Exile 3 dosen't cover the taskbar! Any way to fix this other than pulling down the taskbar manually? (Which I never had to do before, same computer too.) Thanks in advance ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dikiyoba Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Maybe your taskbar is now set to remain on top of all other applications. Check to find out. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranicus Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Do you have Windows 2000 or XP? The Exile games (and Nethergate too for some inexplicable reason) do not cover the taskbar in 2000 or XP like they did in 95, 98, and ME. In order to play with the taskbar covered up, you will have to manually change it each time you play the game. Right-click on your taskbar and select Properties. Then, deslect the check box that says "Keep taskbar on top of other Windows". After you're done playing, you will probably want to go back in and check the box again.

It won't be if it's the same computer (game still registered) and it covered it up before. An update in OS would unregister the game (normally). What Dikiyoba said's more likely, but that's just my advice. - Archmagus Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBackAlleySka Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks a lot guys, I do remember now, I never had "Always on top" or whatnot, and it must have somehow gotten turned on. I don't remember turning it on heh, but thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating the OS woul change nothing. Isn't that what the "misc.dat" file is? I think I've heard that referred to as something that has to do with registering.

Tyranicus Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'm pretty sure that it is in misc.dat, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
