Ok so here's how it happened.
--

Yesterday I was playing Guild Wars with Fenix, and was about to go play a dungeon or something, and I think;
"Well I haven't played this game in Full Screen for a long time, maybe I'll play Full Screen this time."
(I usually play in a window on desktop but with only the user bar showing at bottom.)

Basically I enlarged my Guild Wars screen, and now I get a big black screen with [Out Of Range] only showing up on my screen. I know the actual game has loaded because I can hear the game music, and when I find out where to enter my pw I can hear it change into the Character load screen...
But yeah...the screen wont load and I tried maneuvering my mouse to the top corner or near there to minimize again, but it doesn't work...

So yeah

Any help ?

Appreciated,

When you start the game you can click ALT+Enter and that will switch it from Full Screen to Window.

Or you can right click your Guild Wars icon and at the end of the target line put a space, then add ''-windowed'' without quotes, that should fix you.

No problem at all.

You probably got that "Out of Range" message because the game resolution is set beyond the resolution that your monitor can handle. If you want to play full screen, first go to Option>>Graphics (in GW) and set the rez to match the native rez of the monitor (LCD) or some available rez (CRT). Then you should be able to play full screen.
