Check that your video drivers are up to date. I am running it on a 15, 19 and 21" monitor

Make sure you're using a 16:9 monitor, not 4:3. It runs but will not show up on a 4:3 unless your system has an option for that A/R & it will have "letterboxing." Don't ask me how I know this. :oops:

I saw this when windows was set to "tablet mode"
make sure to not have that activated.
and be sure to follow the windows 10 setup video for all of the rest of windows 10 tweaks!

Are you using a WIDESCREEN monitor? (16:9 aspect ratio)? Or an old square monitor? If the latter, that's likely your problem.
