Trouble with DH fullscreen

[ISpySmurfy]

Hi. I have played Darkest Hour for a few months without issue, but today when I tried to load the game I had black bars running along both sides of my screen. I have looked up solutions, but nothing has helped. I have the game via steam and have a windows 7 pc, if that helps.

Can you try this fix posted here;

Even just using the code as far as WINXP and not using the part from Layer onwards?

EDIT: I mean

this only:

$ DWM8And16BitMitigation WINXPSP3

not including this:

Layer_ForceDirectDrawEmulation

I followed the steps that you gave, but the .exe file for Darkest Hour won't show up in regedit for some reason for me. I copied the path exactly, so I don't know what the problem is.

Please ensure when you do the search in regedit that you have checked all 3 options.

All three options are selected.

All three options are selected.

Darkest Hour, not Darkest Hour.exe...?

Darkest Hour, not Darkest Hour.exe...?

Nope, the only things that come up are "InstallPath" and "Version"

Inside the registry editor, use:

C:\Darkest Hour\Darkest Hour Launcher.exe

as the search string

or your equivalent path.

Tried this as well. Tried with and without the program files folder. Still all I see is Install path and version and default

Found the problem. Some windows update screwed up the graphics card settings. Went into graphic properties and set scaling to "scale full screen"
