Full-screen issues

Post by Jared »

I just reinstalled Exult on my computer, having used the program once before. At that time it had worked perfectly, but now there seems to be an issue--I can't run it in full screen. My OS is XP, my copy of Exult is the latest version and my video card is a Radeon 9800 with current drivers. When I try to alter the executable file, there isn't the normal tab that offers the ability to run it in full screen. It has tabs for General, Version, Compatibility and Summary, but the tabs for Screen--and thus the option for full screen--is missing. (Alt-Enter also doesn't seem to work.) I also checked a few other executable files, and the option for full screen seems to be missing from those as well. Does anyone have any idea of what might be going here? I'm probably missing something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

I forgot to add one other thing...yes, I know there is a full-screen option in the menu when you run Exult. The strange thing is that that option doesn't work either. It just stays in a window.

Oy vey. OK....after tinkering, I figured it out. How very odd this is....and I hate Windows and miss the old DOS days.

What was the issue? It is always nice to have solutions presented so other users that experience this (even though it might not be Exult's fault) may find help.

I hate it when that happens... you searched the forums and found someone with the same problem as you. *Thank goodness!*

But he hastily just signs off that he has found a solution!
