New monitor - no SCUMMVM... :-(

Hi!
Today I bought a new monitor (LG W2284) but after installing it, scummvm will no longer work in fullscreen mode. The program just pop up in the activity panel (right name? At the bottom of the screen in WinXP where the running programs are shown), and when I click it again, the screen goes black for a second or two before the program, once again, minimizes to the activity bar.

Any clues on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Is it a secondary monitor or it's the only monitor you have connected to your PC? Have you checked the settings for multiple display in your ATI or nVidia setting panel?

are you using scalers of any sort?

Hi and thanks for your answers!
It's the first and only display, in Nvidia Control Panel it says "Only use one display (single)".

So, the question of scaling then... No matter what scaling I use in the Nvidia Control Panel, the result is the same as above (no scaling, Nvidia scaling, Nvidia scaling with fixed ratio and display scaling). I've tried with aspect ration both on and off in ScummVM, but no luck...

Try to erase the scummvm.ini file (make backup before) and load ScummVM. We'll see what it'll do with default settings. The default location of the file is C:\Documents and Settings\[current user]\Application Data\ScummVM

....with the footnote that Application Data is a hidden directory.

Done that, but still the same problem, sorry... Even tried different resolutions on the screen, from 800x600 and up, if I didn't mention that.

I don't know what else to do. Sorry.

I thought he meant scalers (graphics mode) in ScummVM, but maybe you already tried that as well.

well, first of all, why are you using a 4:3 resolution on a widescreen monitor? secondly, check to see if uncheking the "aspect ratio correction" does any difference.
