Not displaying fullscreen [solution]

[mike]

I played this game with no problem on an older computer a few years ago, but had issues using my new one, Windows 10. It was not displaying the fullscreen, it was in the upper left corner of the screen. So just wanted to post a solution I found that worked:

-- Right click on Bejeweled 3 in steam library, go to properties, then browse local files
-- Right click on Bejeweled3.exe and go to properties
-- Go to compatibility tab
-- I tried to just run compatibility mode for Windows 7, but it didn't work
-- What worked for me was running compatibility troubleshooter, selecting "Troubleshoot program" and then checking "the program opens but doesn't display correctly"

When I did that it now displays in fullscreen!

I think what it did was change the High DPI settings, so that could be changed manually also, checking the "override high DPI scaling behavior"

Hope this helps

This did work, although I still can't seem to run 3D, though I'll take it at this point. Thanks!

Ran the test in the compatibility troubleshooter till it worked, then hit next and it saved the settings. So far its worked.
Thanks!
