Full screen issue

Howdy, I'm new to these boards and I haven't been able to see a similar problem.

For a while now, I've not been able to run ZSNES on this computer on fullscreen. Once it goes Fullscreen, it just kinda flickers and disappears. The application is still there, but if I click it, it just does the same thing.

Eventually I had to get ZSNES 1.20 just to be able to run it at full screen, and it seems to have issues playing certain ROMs I enjoy.

I run Windows Xp sp3. Intel Core Dual Processor 3.00 Ghz. I think I run NVIDIA.

Is this a known problem?

Fullscreen only works if your monitor and video card combo supports that resolution. This is most problematic with laptops or LCDs that don't support older resolutions.

The best alternative solution is to run a windowed mode with a custom resolution, especially if you're running a non standard resolution like 1680x1050.

Mine's only a 1024x768 though. I just go in, select a custom at that size and call it good?

If it's supported, then sure. Otherwise a windowed mode will serve you better.
