Have you tried asking at the Big Fish game forum? They will probably be able to help also.

Hi, Cathy and Jenny!
Thanks to you both for your responses.
Cathy, no, I haven't contacted Big Fish yet, but I will if Jenny isn't able to help me. I've downloaded numerous demos and games from them and this is the first time I've ever run into a problem.
Jenny, my monitor is an LG Flatron Model No. W2442PA. I haven't made any adjustments to it at all since I received it in October because, so far, there hasn't been a need. The orientation is set to "Landscape".
I was able to play the demo without any problems in a small box, but I don't want to buy the game if I can't play it in full screen because some of the objects are difficult to spot.

You can download a pdf version of the manual from ***here*** or I've uploaded it to Sendspace if you want a direct link http://www.sendspace.com/file/nig150(LG named the manual Eng.pdf) On page A9 it shows how to get a 4:3 aspect ratio using a button on the front of the monitor. This produces a 4:3 image with black filling in on the sides. This may be what the game wants.

Hi, Jenny!
Thanks so much for going to all of that trouble. I did press the "4.3 in Wide" button on the front of my monitor, and it did narrow the display with black filling in on the sides. Maybe that's what I'll need to do in order to play the game in full screen mode.
Unfortunately, time ran out on the demo so I can't test it, but maybe I'll take a chance a buy the game anyway.

Hi, Jenny!
I decided to take a chance and bought the game earlier this evening. I followed your suggestion and pressed the "4:3 Wide" button on the front of my monitor, but the "full screen" mode for the game is still disabled and I am only able to play the game in a small box.
I guess I'll contact "BigFish" Customer Service to see if they know what the problem is because someone else posted the same thing in one of the forums, but they did not receive a reply.
This is the first game I've downloaded from "BigFish" that I couldn't play in full screen mode.
Susan
Edited to add that after I emailed "BigFish", I went to "GOGii Game's" website to see if I could find a solution to my problem, and they have a demo of the game. I downloaded it and was able to play full screen mode, so it's definitely not any of my monitor or video card settings that are only allowing me to play the game I purchased from "BigFish" in a small window. I emailed the additional information to "BigFish", so I guess I'll have to wait to see what they come up with.
