Do you have the emulator set up to run in full screen? If so, then your config is telling it to switch back to windowed with:

SendKeys=%{ENTER}

That sends Alt-Enter which is the hotkey to switch between windowed and full screen mode. Either set it to full screen or use sendkeys, not both.

I got it i had to set it to wait 1000MS thanks for the time

You shouldn't even need to do that with the SendKeys. You can tell VirtuaNES to launch ROMs in full screen through configuration. That method is a lot less sloppy if you want to future proof your install.

Everything except this.... See screen shot.

Id also recommend using Nestopia as your Emu.. But that just me.

I gave up on NEStopia (after a year or so) because for whatever reason it wouldn't retain any changes I made to setup when I re-launched it. Haven't noticed a whole lot of difference between the two performance-wise. But hey, that's my preference I suppose.

Very strange.. It remembers my settings... Oh well.. Its all about the quality of emulation.. Ive tried several emus. All have pluses but in the end I chose nestiopa.
