Cannot start many 3D apps in Full Screen mode (Windows 7/8 Guests)

[gojul]

DO : start a 3D app in full screen mode, like Age of Empires 3 or C&C Red Alert 3. EXPECT : the app launches properly ACTUAL : the app cannot start, it always gets minimized.

This is a regression introduced with 4.3.xx release, at least for Windows 7 and Windows 8 guests.

RedAlert 3 Demo available there : ​http://www.clubic.com/demo-jeux-video-10698-0-command-conquer-alerte-rouge-3-demo-jouable-1.html

AOE3 demo available there : ​http://www.jeuxvideo.com/telecharger/jeux-et-demos/00010959-age-of-empires-iii-pc.htm

Note that AOE3, if started in windowed mode, is not affected by the issue.

Edit : no longer reproducible with AOE3 under Windows 7 but still with RA3 under Windows 8.

Hi,

This looks like the issue disappeared with VBox 4.3.6. Currently I think you can happily close this ticket.

Rgds,

Thanks!
