Full screen

[Ingemar]

Hi,

I have an issue with poc3dsimii. When I switch to full screen the application minimizes to the taskbar. I can then only right click it to close it and when I want to activate it (left click) the screen goes black for a second and then it moves back to the taskbar.

I tried virtually every setting in the application and in the video driver. I even downgraded the driver version but nothing changes the behaviour.

My rig:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
1Gb mem
Nvidia nForce 2 chipset
Nvidia Geforce 6800/512Mb AGP

Windows XP Service Pack 2 with latest updates
Nvidia Nforce chipset drivers v. 5.20 with the audio update.
ForceWare 84.21 video driver (latest and earlier version tried as well)

I've also tried deleting the app and reinstalling, I've deleted the INI and had the Sim3dII recreate it.

It runs fine in a window, but when poc opens sim3dII it opens it automatically in full screen. If I can change this behaviour I can at least play the game but right now it's useless.

So if anyone has any tips, pls share. I'm starting to suffer from severe detoxification phenomena.

Thx in advance.

fro teh radeon 9600 its clear as the card is not good enough, but you can also try...

but for the 6800 it should be ok, what is the screen resolution ?(1280x1024 or...higher)

first lets try the following, go to the device setting within pocsim3dII then change the antialiasing to OFF (it should say 4 time multisample before), then switch to full screen, and tell me if it works, the top line should confirm the multisample be off (use the X.Key if not displayed)

the setting is currently not saved in the ini, so I will make a change in the program, but lets try this first to find out what happens -

also check your direct version to be 9.0c (at least feb 2005)
