Can select resolution but never fullscreen

[Photon]

Nothing to do with stretching like the othe fullscreen thread.

I just installed 1.3.3 hoping it would be able to go to fullscreen. I've had fullscreen modes working on the same PC, in pre-1.0 versions of WinUAE.

I can select a resolution, but the drop-down lists next to the resolution selector are blank. IIRC when I got it working in the older WinUAE versions, those were not blank.

Whatever resolution I select, when I click OK the screen blinks black (but it doesn't seem to switch resolutions, i.e. there's no "screen hickup") and then I still get a window.

Before I click OK:


After I click OK:


(The above is the contents of the window, not fullscreen. Somehow I was unable to get the screenshot including the borders with PrintScreen. Also note that contents seem to be pushed up out of the window.)

I have a P4 2.2, GF3 Ti500, ForceWare 84.21 (latest drivers compatible with my old card), PowerStrip to set Hz.

I tried without PowerStrip, didn't work. Other games work fine, both DirectX and OpenGL games.

winuaebootlog.txt, thanks.

Hehe, sorry, didn't know you needed that. This is the first time I've had any real problems with WinUAE!

Actually, I restarted WinUAE a couple of times, and at one time the depth and Hz fields appeared, so I quickly selected 50Hz PAL and saved the config.

When I start WinUAE with that config it seems to work, but I get 2-4 fps :´(

I use Win 2000 Pro with the latest service packs, is that a problem?

[Toni Wilen]

Looks like your default.uae is really old. (for example directx6 config option has been removed at least 4 years ago..)

Delete/move it somewhere else and create it from scratch.

[Photon]

Oh. I assumed using the installer replaced the default config, since configs are sometimes incompatible between versions.

Will try that, thanks Toni!

[Photon]

Removed all configs to a place where WinUAE can't find it, made a new one from scratch with the Quickstart, saved it as 'default', restarted WinUAE, loaded 'default', clicked Start. Still 4 fps unfortunately.

Bootlog updated, at the same address. If it still says DirectX 6 I don't know where it gets that from, I have 9.0c.

Interestingggg! I ran DXDIAG and now it says NetMeeting is running and 3D acceleration may not work until it's shut down. Didn't say that the last time I ran DXDIAG. Could that be it?

[Photon]

That's probably it, since DXDIAG says DirectDraw acceleration is disable. Been searching for a way to really remove NetMeeting and not start it after a few seconds, but found nothing. Well, I found a bunch of similar "power user" programs which sound like spyware/viruses. Which I will not install. Followed a procedure to remove it from Microsoft support pages, and it deleted files, but upon reboot it was back again.

Anyone have a fail safe way to obliterate it under Windows 2000? My hair is turning gray.

[Photon]

That was it! Managed to remove NetMeeting, and DXDIAG reports all acceleration Enabled. Re-installed WinUAE, detected pixel format, it found my resolutions, I selected 800x600x32 50Hz PAL with Vsync, and everything flows SMOOTHLY with no visual defects whatsoever!

Found how to remove NetMeeting here:

I saved the page to my harddisk, since this page was the ONLY solution that properly removed it in Win2k.

I'm smiling from ear to ear now *happy sigh* I'm sorry for ever thinking there was something wrong with your superb program Toni...
