Ok, so I installed scummvm, installed monkey island 1 and it worked fine but only ran in a window, so I changed the setting in scummvm to fullscreen.
This made scummvm run fullscreen, or rather not run, but just produced a black fullscreen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem is still there.
What can I do to make it run properly again?

Re: Problems with scummvm - please help me!
There are a couple of things you could try.Kallumbo wrote: This made scummvm run fullscreen, or rather not run, but just produced a black fullscreen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem is still there.
If ScummVM is still responding to user input, i.e. it hasn't locked up completely, you could leave fullscreen mode by pressing Alt-Enter.
If that doesn't work, starting ScummVM from a command prompt, with the --no-fullscreen option, should allow you to start ScummVM in windowed mode. I don't think that affects the settings permanently, though, so you probably need to uncheck it in the options dialog after that.
If that doesn't work either, try locating the ScummVM config file. If you're using Windows, it's called scummvm.ini. It used to be stored in the Windows folder - probably C:\WINDOWS - but at some point (I don't remember if it was before or after 0.9.x) it was changed to the "Application Data directory of the user profile" instead on more recent versions of Windows.
Anyway, once you've located this file you could either remove it or, if you have a lot of settings that you don't want to lose (the list of games are settings, for instance), you could just open it in Notepad or any other text editor, and locate the "fullscreen" setting. It should be a line that says "fullscreen=true" or something like that. Change it to "fullscreen=false".
(I don't have ScummVM on this computer, just the source code for it. Hence the number of "something like" and "there should be" in the above text.)
