If you are trying to watch olympics online using IE7 on NBC you might have downloaded Microsoft silverlight. You might also have tried the enhanced player mode of the video player only to discover there is no full screen mode. And this can definitely be annoying if your computer is also connected to a TV. So if you are trying to figure out how to get full screen mode then you have come to the right place. I will give you a short and long version of the solution to see the Olympics videos on NBC full screen.
Short version is: Press F11 after starting the enhanced player (This puts your IE v7 browser in full screen mode). Then magnify the browser window (usually present at the right bottom) from 100% to 150%. Then you have an almost full screen experience.
The long version: The IE v7 browser has a full screen mode which basically gets rid of the toolbar/titlebar at the top of the browser. To enable this mode you can press F11 with the focus on the browser. The silverlight enhanced player opens in a browser window with fixed size (so you cannot resize it). But F11 still works on the browser window in which the enhanced player is opened in. So you can use F11 to make the enhanced player browser window full screen. Then you can magnify the video by changing the zoom level (bottom right corner) .
