Fullscreen not working

Well, fullscreen worked on my old Win 2000 machine and the same monitor (LCD, 1280x1024 desktop, game resolution 800x600), so it looks like Vista / Dx10 have a problem with changing the resolution.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that a DirectX update will fix this...

It is not DX10 or whatever Vista ships with - as others have run the game fine on vista boxes. Including running in 1280 mode on 1280 by 800 wide-screen laptops and the game fitting to the desktop (less task bar at the bottom) as usual.

So it looks like a driver issue then, in trying to interpolate 800 mode onto a 1280 native pixel screen. A later driver update may fix this (if you are lucky, and whenever the driver writers get round to it, which sometimes for older hardware they dont). The other method to fix it would be to buy the CD version of the game and drive it in 1280x1024 mode native !
