Problem is that the Inspirons are a notebook computer, and 1400 x 1050 is the setting it wants. The refresh rate is fixed, so I can't play with that. I can still try a different resolution, but all it does is make the display smaller than the screen. I'll try at Dell. Thanks anyway. I'll still check back if you care to respond

Pinbal will complain about 16 or 32-bit colour. It wants
256 colours (That's now the MS version) So don't see that
as an error. 1400 x 1050 is a non-standard setting. Try
1024 x 768 x 32bit and see what happens. And while you're
there check your refresh rate

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100, Windows XP 5.1.2600, DirectX
8.1(I'm hesitant about getting 9.x just yet), and an
nVidia GeForce 2 Go with what looks like the 6.14.4482
drivers. Everytime I attempt to go full screen with a
game, or some other app that takes over the video in full
screen mode, it complains saying I have selected a non
optimal Screen Resolution for my display panel and that I
need to have it at 1400 x 1050. Well, looking in the
display settings shows it at 1400 x 1050 but I continue to
get a rejection by Pinball, or any other game that
attempts a full screen display. Can anyone help
