Original Title: minesweeper opens to the large screen

I played minesweeper several times before realizing I could make the game full screen.  I made the game full screen for several days.  Then, whenever I started minesweper, th game started in full screen.  How do I get it back to a smaller screen so I can see the original screen.

    No, what he is saying is that something must have corrupted Minesweeper and to fix it, he recommended uninstalling and reinstalling the game and that solved the OPs problem.

    So you're saying we have to uninstall Minesweeper to exit full screen?  That's a bug if I ever saw one.
