Windows XP Help
Hi,
Up until a few days ago, TTD was working wonderfully on my Windows XP system. Since I had to reinstall everythig (for reasons not related to TTD), I can no longer get it to go to full-screen. It also crashes everytime it loads and, from what it looks, it's not loading the electric railways graphics.
For the past two days, I've been fiddling with Windows, TTD and TDDpatch settings to no avail. It either runs without electric railways or it crashes. Changing compatibility modes (Win95/98/NT, etc.) has no effect.
I'm using TTDPatch 1.9.1 alpha 47 and Windows XP SP1 with DirectX 9
A few details about my setup. In the newgrf folder, I have

I would really appreciate any help with this.

Hi, Can you set 'verbose on' in your ttdpatch.cfg file and run it again, then take a printscreen of that full dos screen and attach it here
We also need your ttdpatch.cfg file and newgrfw.txt files !
I have the same setup like you but no crashes, I would just like to start a game with your files !!!
And for the fullscreen, first do what Andrex suggested

Well, back to work, lot's of it in the near future
One little thing you should note is that since you have both tempsetpw.grf and tempsetw.grf in your newgrf directory, putting both in your newgrfw.txt file will most likely cause problems. If you like the new temperate set locos as they are in reality, keep tempsetw.grf, if not, tempsetpw.grf is the same, except the locos are colored to match your color.

I use the .cfg file that TTDpatch creates automatically when it can't find one. In TTConfig (the fish tool), I set the display to mode 5. My newgrfw.txt only has those two lines.
Here's how the full-screen doesn't work for me: what I get is a full screen allright. However, the game is framed to a 800x600 box with the rest of the screen being black.
Has anybody else experienced this?
