Hi I got this fancy tablet with it's own screen you could draw your stuff on but when that's turned on I can't work full screen with OHR but turning that off let's me use my laptop. Is it possible to use that with OHR in full screen?

My old laptop won't turn on so I also have this new machine and it's in Windows 7 64 bit (too many hassles argh!), now in this machine, I can't run OHR in full screen now, it just crashes saying something about the wrong resolution. I miss my OHR! :-(

Are you using the latest release zenzizenzic?

If so, can you run game.exe and then post the contents of g_debug.txt ?

I've just downloaded that, wow a new release!

It's working now, I'm just no sure if it's because I'm now using a new version or because I uninstalled that stupid nvidia driver which now made things better in my computer, though now I coudnt enjoy the great hi tech graphics and stuff.

Oh well, 8bit rules!

oh and:

here's the content of the g-debug file

I'm not sure how I got those map errors, I simply exited the game and ran it again and I got to play Vikings of Midgard.

Also:
in this line: Adapter: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
This is my vga adapter isn't it? I'm just wondering if you might know about this, I have two of these in the device manager, the other is the NVidia and that's supposed to make the performance better. But are these two actually two video cards in my machine? Because when I removed the Nvidia driver, the lags stopped in photoshop.

I think there was a bug in an older version that caused crashes when running on a computer with two displays, and since your tablet could have counted as a second display, that explains the problem. The zenzizenzic release has a fix for that bug, which explains why it works now :)

It looks like your computer has an Intel video card, not an nVidia card, so I am not surprised that the nVidia driver was causing strange behavior.
