Hmmmm.... Never tried that, figured that it wouldn't be able to be
done while the rest of the desktop is in 800x600x65k. No Harm in
trying tho......
Hmmmm.... ain't this a brain basher.... Windowed, it worked perfect,
ran MEM, and I have 753664 bytes total memory. Ok, let me go back to
opening a full screen....
Nope, screen goes black for a second, then I get dumped to the
desktop. I guess the last step to this test is opening the windowed
session, and trying to fullscreen it.....
This is STRANGE.... Opening it windowed, then alt-home, it will
successfully work fullscreen, mem reports all the memory is still
there too.
Ok, now for the BIG question.... Why would this happen, and how can I
fix it? I don't mind Opening a window and then pressing alt-home, but
it will undoubtably become annoying quickly. I would rather open it
as a full-screen from the start.
Thanx in advance for any help you can provide on this.
