Running full screen in vista?

chocolate_boy · 03 July 2007, 01:02

Anyone managed this?

Even with the newest version of WinUAE I cannot run full screen, the system attempts to and changes resolution momentarily but then goes back to the UAE menu screen. Hmph. I can run in a window (not a full screen window).

Upon googling I haven't really found any reason why, apart from apparently Vista doesnt support full screen dos windows, is this why? Is there anyway to use UAE in fullscreen in vista?

I use an NVidea series 6 card, full vista drivers installed.

I have a Ati card and no problems. What drivers do you use? Forceware 94.24?

re: Vista Drivers.... install nVidia drivers instead... i.e. Forceware.

I use gf6600gt on Vistax64 with the latest beta x64 drivers and the latest WinUAE beta works fine.
If me memory doesn't play tricks on me again, I remember Toni said in a similar thread something about switching Misc -> Don't use RGB overlays, maybe?
