July 5, 200223 yr I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble with FS2k2 in full screen mode. I just reinstalled FS, and recently reformatted my PC. Here are the system specs:PIII 600mhz192MB PC133 RAMNvidia TNT2 Pro (32MB)WinXP ProThe only thing I can think of is the newest Nvidia drivers which I installed. Prior to that I was using 2.1.8.3, which worked fine. FS works just fine in windowed mode, but if you Alt+Enter the screen goes blank and my monitor no longer is getting any signal from the video card. Doing Alt+Enter again will take my back to windowed mode just fine. I'm going to roll back to the old driver and see if that makes a difference. Any ideas guys? Thanks!Paris
July 5, 200223 yr While in the Windowed Mode, check to see what graphics resolution you are using by right clicking your desktop, select properties, select settings tab, and read the resolution, e.g, 800x600x32, 1024x768x32, then close the box. You can also check what modes are supported by your graphics card/monitor by selecting the adapter tab, selecting the "List all Modes" button, if it is available.Start FS2002, select the settings menu, select Display, Hardware Tab. Check to see what graphics adapter card it says you are using, is it correct? Next, select the same graphics resolution you are using in Windowed Mode, select OK, then complete the fs2002 start to your favorite airport. Try selecting full screen mode.Hopefully it works, you can try other resolutions both Windowed and Full Screen. Bill Sieffert
July 5, 200223 yr The only thing that comes to mind is a bad refresh rate setting. On XP, the refresh rate is set seperately for each resolution-color depth combination. Try changing the resolution settings for FS and see if that makes a difference. If so, then try switching your desktop to the problem settings, you should be able to set the refresh rate on the monitor tab under "advanced".
