GENERAL GAME ISSUES ------------------------ Normal Window vs. Full Screen 3D Ultra NASCAR Pinball has a Full Screen option (available from the Preferences menu on the menu bar) to allow users with high resolution (greater than 800x600) systems to take advantage of the entire screen. When this option is unchecked (off), the game appears in a window. When this option is checked (and the game is taking up the entire screen), you must move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen to see and access the pull-down menus. IV.
