Yes, go to options (Use the newbee forum for such questions).

I only play PS in full screen mode.

BTW, does PS run faster or slower in full screen mode? I think it should run faster in full screen, as since OS allocates memory to build and show a window. Actually, I don\'t know if this fact really affects its performance.

Am I right? ?(
Kind regards,

I think lag has nothing to do with playing PS in full screen or not. Lag is related to traffic amount in certain net nodes, not with your screen resolution or if you are playing in full screen mode.

It runs smoother since your OS wont have to create a window for PS to play, plus it wont use CPU to other things, which it will if you use window mode.

Unreal tournament runs horribly in Windowed.
But Star wars galaxies has a borderless window option (very useful for dual monitors), I don\'t think borderless window makes much difference on fps and certainly not lag.
