Hello, I've had a good look through the forum and have a question about the resolution.
My laptop is running at a resolution of 1960x1080. The simulator docs say I need to run at 1280 x 1024 or above so I should be fine. However when I start up the simulator it tells me my resolution is something different 1960x564, anyway something that my resolution isn't set at. I click ok to continue and try the practice using the SA-2, the screen displays fine, but I can't see how to exit or change screens.

I've looked through the documentation I have downloaded and trying to find basic controls and my Alt-Tab doesn't work and I need to go into task manager to shut it down.

I'm running an Intel Core I5 with a Radeon Graphics card, Windows 8.1

Cheers

If the screen is corrupted, or switches are in wrong position.
You need to set Windows screen magnification back to 100%.



How to exit the game depends on the system started. (usually the system switch off button)
RTFM yep

Yes, I see exactly that screenshot that you have posted. The buttons work so the simulator does work, I just couldn't figure a way back to the start screen. I read the SA-2E detailed docs, and found the off switch smile

Thanks I went back through the manual. Was in a bit of a rush yesterday...Work today is slow so will be putting it to good use.

Like Hpasp said windows icons to 100%

SAMSim also reads your screen resolution
So you could have a 1920x1080 screen running on a 800x600 (Why you would want to is another matter) and SAMSim will read your screen as 800 x 600.
(Its happened to me)

If you force shutdown SAMSim you will need to restart windows explorer.


Its not the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about.
But the one addressed:
