New cPLAY user that has only used versions 2.0b30 and 2.0b31 so far. On both these version cPlay does not fit in the maximized window (it is just cut a little short) nor does it fill the full width and height of the monitor.

I have used a 17" and a 19" LCD at differant resoutions with no prevail. It really isn't bothersome but was wondering if others have had the problem and if there is a possible fix.

This is on a allout cMP² minus ps mods.

  to fix that:
  
  In cicsMemoryPlayer.pth, set CUE_PLAYER to start with %M (Maximised) instead of %N (Normal). It helps only when video resolution is 1024x768.
  
  i must be using that resolution because it worked, though I dont remember choosing that resolution.
  
  Basically it made the bottom of the player longer so it filled the screen.

    I must have something turned off that won't allow me to open the .pth extension???

      What resolution do you want to use? Even if it is more than 1024x768, you should be able to get close to filling the screen with the right dpi, try with %N if %M isn't doing it, and maybe you can make up the difference with adjustments to display size on the monitor itself. Or make it a bit smaller and have a nice coloured border (desktop colour).
      
      If you are working with Process Explorer or Explorer, or any embedded apps, and you are using mouse exclusively, it is useful to not have fullscreen, so you can easily click between them and cPlay, and then not forget and leave them running while you listen to music.

        It looks great at 1024 x 768 with M changed as Dawnrazor recommended and the desktop set to black using it as a border since it doesn't fill the entire monitor as you recommended. Also hiding icons behind cPlay and taskbar set to auto-hide.
        
        Thanks guys

  It also may be graphics-card related.

  I have my cMP2 in a Zalman case and use the "itzy-bitzy "embedded" monitor". I had this issue with the two GA-EG45M-UD2H motherboards I've used in varying degrees... they differed in how much of the window was off the monitor.

  OTOH, no issue with either the GA-G31M-S2Ls or GA-G31M-ES2L I've used.

  All were as fully optimized standard cMP2 setups as we know how to do today.

  P.S. Ryelands, sorry, have had your cable for about a month now, but too busy to do anything more than take it out, look at it, say 'yup, that's a pretty cable', and put it back. SORRY!

  [I] was wondering if others have had the problem . . .
  
  We all have the same problem - except for those who use the itzy-bitzy "embedded" monitor. (The display resolution is fixed for that format and is not scalable.)
  
  . . . and if there is a possible fix.
  
  Not so far. As you say, it's not a deal-breaker - just tell your friends that all the best people call Mozart's 41st symphony "The Jup".
