[RESOLVED] final burn fullscreen problem

[staticpunk]

I can't seem to get Final Burn Alpha to work in fullscreen. I had it working with Afterburn II once from the fba.exe gui but have not been able to replicate that. The ini file has the same setting options as the gui and I've tried numerous combinations of settings. It does not crash or give me errors. The screen goes blank for a second and then it just minimizes to taskbar sometimes running for 2 or 3 seconds before minimizing. Selecting it in the taskbar when minimized repeats the pattern. I've turned off windows transparency and closed all other programs that might interfere. I'm running win7 with a native resolution of 1680x1050. Any suggestions?

So Alt+Enter isn't putting it to fullscreen outside of GameEx?

It goes fullscreen for 1-3 seconds.

I see you're using a native resolution of 1680x1050. What resolution are you using in FBA? Also what version are you running. I ask these things so that I may test.

I had the problem with 2.97.07 so I upgraded to 2.97.08 but that didn't fix the problem. I tried many different resolutions but 640x480 mainly. I finally rebooted my machine and the problems went away. Thanks.
