Full screen 16bits App.

[Guest]

I installed Vista RTM x86.
I have a 16 bits app which run in full screen mode (because of some
graphical libraries used in the app).
When I launch the app vista tells me that the full screen mode for 16 bits
is not supported....
Is that a definitive or is there any option I can change in the OS ?

That is definitive.

Going full-screen in console windows has not worked for me at all, in
general. However, you might try disabling the Glass (so that the desktop is
not running on Direct3D). I haven't tried it but I'm curious as to whether
it will work. Probably no need to, though, as I'm sure others here have
tried and failed (i.e. "it's definitive").

Pierre,

I'm presently looking at a running full screen 16-bit Windows app (written
for Win 3.1 but runs on later), and it runs perfectly well. It is a large
and complex program with extensive use of graphics.

My Vista is RC1 Build 5600.
