[Demo 0.6.4] Window remains minimized

[KodeAndGame]

Hey guys. Hope you don't mind me reporting a bug on the demo but it's keeping me from enjoying the demo and from having confidence that full version will work on my machine. This game comes highly recommended from a friend so I'm very interested in trying; I suppose that's evident - otherwise I wouldn't be reporting a bug for a demo :-p

In any case, my problem is that when I run the program it remains minimized in my taskbar as though the window is off-screen. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit so I get a live preview when I hover over the icon like this:


However, I can't get the window to display through normal means (alt+tab, click icon, win+tab). I was linked this resource: http://superuser.com/questions/377279/w ... preview-ok. Win+Shift+Right or Win+Shift+Left didn't work for me but Win+Right (dock to the right), Win+Left and Win+Up (maximize) did. The problem with these options is that they alter the resolution. So once I get into the first level, it looks like this for me:



I suspected this wasn't correct so I asked my aforementioned friend and they confirmed that this wasn't how it was supposed to look. So that's where I stand. I can get it to a maximized window but the resolution is messed up and it all just feels weird and it's hard for me to play. For the record, I started by trying the "MS Windows (64 bit exe installer)" but I also tried "MS Windows (64 bit zip package)" and "MS Windows (32 bit zip package)". All of them behave the same. And here's my machine:

Hello, I use win 7 64 bit as well, and I didn't encounter this problem, but here is what helped couple of people (from our faq)

I start the game on Windows but nothing happens. How can I solve this?
Open the task manager (ctr + alt + del). Lookup Factorio in the list, right click it and choose maximize.

Not sure if maximising this way is different than the way you tried, but you could give it a try.

P.S. Faster way to get to task manager is control + escape

ctrl+shift+esc on my windows ctrl+esc just opens the start menu

Ah, I didn't catch this in the FAQ. Thanks. This seems to have the same effect as Win+Up. Well it's still playable so I'll go with that for now. Thanks!
