#22 Vista DirectDraw error when going fullscreen
I bought a new computer (HP, Core 2 Duo E4300) running Vista and every time I try to enter FCE Ultra's fullscreen mode it gives the following error and returns to the small size window:
"DirectDraw: Error setting display mode."
I used the following versions of FCE-Ultra and got the same error message every time:
- 0.98.8
- 0.98.15
- 0.54
I also tried with some other emulator (Gens 2.14, Magic Engine 1 PR10) and I could enter the fullscreen mode alright.

I guess someone with vista should test this? Fullscreen works fine in XP

These are all obsolete versions of FCE Ultra at this point. Also this may simply be a full screen mode issue rather than a Vista one. I'll do some research.

I just confirmed that our latest build (as of 06/23/08) has this exact error.
I'm having this same problem iv tried it with all compatibility modes but no go
Same problem here, using Vista with the PC I built, Nvidia 8800 GTS and Core 2 Duo.
FCE Ultra 0.98.8 fullscreen works fine for me though.
This means that the problem happens in src\drivers\win\Video.cpp at line 351:
ddrval = IDirectDraw7_SetDisplayMode(lpDD7, vmodes[vmod].x, vmodes[vmod].y,vmodes[vmod].bpp,0,0);
Since it is the only code that outputs that particular error message.
iv tested this with the latest ver. and its still messed up
Closing this issue. I had no problems running fullscreen on Vista.
I see 3 possibilities here:
1) Vista updates have corrected the problem since this issue was opened (it is old as direct, Vista has improved a lot)
2) It is not vista but a graphics card type issue
3) Vista is goofy and it works on some but not others
Either way, I don't see this as a problem that needs to be fixed on FCEUX's side.
