Problems with startup display

[BeakyGuy2]

When I try to start GameEx in full screen mode, it comes up with an error. It is fine when it is set to start in a window. I have tried it with GameEx not changing the resolution and with manually specifying the resolution in GameEx. It doesn't work either way. My display drivers are up-to-date.

Thanks,

Dan

1175x648? What an odd resolution. Have you tried changing your resolution?
