Operating in a window

Peanutuk · 06 August 2005, 22:11

Whenever I try and use WinUAE windowed I get a black screen with occasional grey pixilation dotted around it, when using the same conifguration but in full screen it works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What OS? What screen mode? (the colour depth is important)

Try changing your Windows screen depth.

Sorry. Im using Windows XP. The screen resolution on my PC is 1024 by 768.

Im trying to open a screen in 800 by 600 as higher higher than that results in WinUAE autmatically going in to Full Screen mode. I'm not sure what you mean by colour depth but I changed the 'Colour Quality' tab in the Control Panel/Display option to 16-bit. After running the 'Detect Pixel Format' in WinUAE Display I can now operate correctly in a window.

Not sure what I've done to make this happen but thanks for the help.
