Just curious, but does it happen when you first try or have you tried to go out of fullscreen and back?

When do you see that error message? I only see it if I try to switch to window mode in D3D. Seems that the D3D doesn't work in window mode (yet).
BTW, it goes fullscreen automatically.

After it goes to fullscreen, try press alt+tab to switch to windowed mode again. Is this where the problem happens or is it when it enters the fullscreen?

i also get the "eVoodoo cannot set display mode" error in D3D. It happens as soon as the rom is loaded, and I am unable to switch into/out of fullscreen because the crash happens instantly.

Hmmmm! I wonder if it sets color depth to 32 or 16-bit?

Well, i recently installed windows XP professional, and i no longer get that error! I noticed that StonedConker (above) and abb (this thread (http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10540&perpage=20&pagenumber=2)) also encountered this problem under Win98. I had suspected that it was an OS-related problem before, but was too lazy to test it =P
Here's the details (my full specs are in my sig):
Win98 on Celeron and Rage - error
Win98 on Celeron and Radeon - error
Win98 on Athlon and Rage - error
Win98 on Athlon and Radeon - error
WinXP on Athlon and Rage - works
WinXP on Athlon and Radeon - works
All tested under DX 8.1.
If anyone else is experiencing this problem in the D3D Xengine, could you please list your OS along with any relevant specs? Or if you have 98/some other non-XP OS and it DOES work, it would be quite helpful to know as well. Thanks.

Well, looks like our plugin might have a problem with the ATi w98 drivers. The team members got several kind of cards but no ATi ones.
Thanks for your report.
