I have recently installed Win XP Pro. When I try to run Pinball in full screen mode the screen goes black for a few seconds then reverts to the smaller version. Does anybody have any ideas please?

Re: Pinball

Pinball has never run in full screen from 95B on. The black screen happens all the time it starts. Hoping this may answer your question.

Re: Pinball

Sorry Norm but I had it running in full screen mode in 98 SE.

Hi Tom

I have tried Pinball on my 98se and it opens to a maximised size but not full screen. There is no maximise button on the title bar.

The screen resolution is set at 640 x 480 pixels, which gives full screen view. Run it in 800 x 600 and it is smaller.

Hi Norm

I'm running my Win 98SE in 1024 x 768 and when I press F4 I go to full screen, no taskbar or anything else on the screen.

Another update Norm.

I have just downloaded and installed the latest Nvidia driver for XP and everything now works. I think it was something to do with 3D not working correctly.

Re: Pinball

Hi Tom

I stand corrected and apologise for any misinformation that I have given. It doesn’t happen on my 98 but it works on WinMe.

Glad that you worked it out.
