Need someone with computer knowledge! Please help!

Post by Gemini »

I was trying to change the resolution on the screen for one of my characters and now he won't load. Any time I try to load that particular character the game window acts as though it's minimized, although you can't bring the game window up by clicking the UO icon, alt+tabbing, or anything. All my other characters work fine. I re-installed UO and that didn't fix anything since each character has it's own configuration set up. I sent a message for a GM but nobody is on right now.

In my character folder, there are a few specific files for each character. I am afraid if I delete the wrong file that my character will be corrupted and that he might never load again. These are the files in my character folder:

chardata.mul
desktop.uos
macros2d.txt
multicache.dat
skillgrp.mul
uo.cfg

What I need to do is reset all the graphics to their default settings...would the uo.cfg file be safe to delete? And is that the right one to delete? I don't want to destroy my character on accident.

Assuming win 7/8/10...

Hover over the game window in the task bar... right click.... maximize.

Alternatively alt+enter
Please choose a more appropriate signature.

I've had this happen before and it ended up being that the game window was off screen. If you alt+shift+space (I think) and click "move", it should bring the window to your mouse.

"Shift" plus right click on the icon on the bottom of the screen fixed it. You were right, the window was completely off the screen somehow. Thanks everyone. I was in a bit of a panic. This server is full of helpful players :) See you all in Vesper sometime
