video caed limits

[ennonfenom]

Is there a limit to how big of a video card zq will run on? I have an Invidia GTs8800 pci-e X16 or X18 not to sure right this second. But I can't seem to get zq bigger than X2 windowed. I feels this is a problem because My mouse and key board dont respond well to zq in this mode. I want to be able to run it on full screen mode, not large because large mode is annoying, at least to me. So I am sure this has to do with my video card because I can get all these newer and older build to run full screen on his machine. So is there a way of tweaks zq/tricking it into letting me go full screen or am I screwed cause my video card is to good?

Ok here we go:

hd space 1000 Gigabites,

Cpu: intel core 2 quad 2.48 Ghz,

Invidia GTs8800 pci-e X16 or X18,

High def. audio card, Not sure on brand :shrug:

os: Windows xp Home Sp2,

is there any thing else I forgot?

But it sucks not being able to open Zq up in full screen. Oh this is what the allegro log says:

installed the latest video drivers from nvidia?

[DarkDragon]

I also have an 8800 GTS and fullscreen works OK for me. Are you using the ZC Launcher?

I installed the one from a couple month ago, well I installed the one that was current a couple of month ago.

Um sort of, Ok I first had to use it to even get Zq to run, Then after that I can just click on the Zq icon. But both ways the biggest I can get it is 2X Or large mode And I cant stand the large mode. So DarkDragon how did/do you get yours to run in fullscreen :confused:
