Changing option to windowed mode, screen goes Black, have to 'hard' reset. Any help?

[Mysticpuma]

So here's the problem. Launching DCS it opens the GUi in full-screen. No problem.

 

Launching the Mission Builder.....no problem

 

Launching the mission I create....Black screen, Loading Message.....nothing happens. Ctrl+Alt+Del bring up the option to kill the process. It does nothing, the computer hangs and I have to reset the PC.

 

The issue I know I have is that my Firewall is popping up a window asking for permission for DCS to access a file or the internet. But I can't say yes as I can't get to the Firewall window.

 

So then I thought..."aha, untick Full-Screen and click okay" as this will minimise the window and allow me to get to the firewall option.

 

Nope!

 

Untick the Full screen button, click Okay....screen goes black, nothing happens and I have to hard reset the PC.

 

 

So....is there a way I can just enable windowed mode in the config files so that when I launch the GUi and Missions it is always in windowed mode? That way I can get to the Firewall option?

 

This is so frustrating but any help to tell me how to edit a config. file for full-screen would be very much appreciated so I can just launch it in Windowed mode!

 

Thansk for any help, MP

Haven't done that myself but it is possible as u know. Do a search for LUA files on the first page of this site and download Notepad++ to edit them.
