MagicEngine

Hi

I have some problem with MagicEngine, when i run it in fullscreen the games works fine and when i quit, my screen will be black and my monitor says no input signal and goes in sleepmode. Although Windows XP is still running in the background, but i cant see anything as the screen is black. I tried to change back to window mode,but the text goes blurry and hard to read, and the screen goes black as i started it up with full screen, alhough i like play the game in fullscreen rather than window mode.

Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Cpu: Amd Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
Memory:1GB
Graphiccard: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Monitor: HP LP1965 1280*1024

Thank you
Sincerely
Blacktiger

LCD is the Bane of Emulation.

Your problem sounds like a monitor/video driver issue. Make sure both your drivers are up-to-date. Also, try switching your Magic Engine video settings from/to DirectX/OpenGL.

Sounds like your monitor can't handle the 640x480 mode that Magic Engine uses in fullscreen.

Hi

Thanks for the answers, although i got it to work Very Happy

, i replaced the ini file with the one from the zip Archive. Some how my old one seemed to be corrupted, although the size was the same. Now it works to quit MagicEngine and going back to Windows XP Smile
