i just downloaded the game on a new Dell PC, and when its not full screen, it works fine. but when i make it full screen, the monitor turns black and the buttons on the monitor start flashing. any clue?

Video drivers I'd say, probably need to be updated.

VladGuerrero4MVP · 06-15-2002, 02:20 PM

how do i do that? sorry for stupid question

You need to findout the brand of video card you have. Since you say it is a new PC I would check the documentation first. If that doesn't work, go to control panel, then video or display, there should be a tab or place where you can find out the brand (depends on your OS as to how exactly you find it). Once you have determined the brand and type then go to that companies web site and see if they have an update. Or go to <a href="http://www.windrivers.com" target="_blank">Windrivers.com</a> and they should have it also.

I would suggest going to Dell's website. Most PC manufacturers offer all the most current drivers for their products.
