can't use full screen

[remieres]

Ok heres the situation. I'm in any game on my list and i start it up. It runs fine in Windowed mode. and it used to run perfect in Full screen untill about 2 weeks ago. Some reason when i press Esc to go to full screen my screen goes black and then goes right back out to windows and keeps doing the same every time i try going back into the game.
(Important notes: full screen mode used to work 2 weeks ago) I have deleted Project64 1.5 from my computer and re downloaded it and it still does it.

Deleting doesn't do anything (except "reset" the rdb, but you should have a clean copy of that backed-up anyway). Instead, use the included uninstall scripts to remove the registry settings.

Any other games/emulators with the same issue? Install new drivers recently? At first read it sounds like you have the fullscreen res set too high for your monitor.

um i dont know how to use the uninstall cause its just 3 registry files. i double clicked on all 3 and it asked me if id like to change the current settings or something. I did that and went into the emulator and it asked me my language, and i had to set most of it up again. but it still wont let me upsize the screen. zI think I found an error on my part. I had my video card set at 16 bpp so now its at 32 i think ill try this hang on

nope it didnt fix anything. i went into the emulator, opened a random game, and tried to put it to full screen and it flashed black for about 5 seconds and minimized and wouldnt open again. I had to ctrl+alt+Del and end task

i got same prollem.. ive had it for some time now and for me this is with most full screen applications like games (halo, gunbound, disciples) and even full screen on slide show doesent work... i dont believe this is a problem with PJ64, because this started happening about 2 months after i had PJ64 i have a P4 2.2 GHZ 512MB ram Nvidia Geforce4 ti 4400 newest drivers are installed and usin XP home... for gunbound though i hit ctrl alt del, and hit bring to front and that works, but not with halo... i have scanned for virus's and spyware numerous times, but still nothing... if u have problem with any full screen appliaction that dont start in windowed mode, open up command prompt start--all programs--accessories then type in the directory (cd (directory)) if ur not sure the directory, its just like going through my computer.... and then u add -window at the end... so if i were to open up halo i have to open command prompt and type cd C:\program files\microsoft games\halo (enter then i type) halo.exe -window and it runs it in windowed mode... in some old games this doesent work (disciples, starcraft) or any game that has a startup program before it runs the right programs.. in that case as soon as u start your computer try going on it... for me it seems that whenever i have the problem is when im online... but i have yet to find a solution...
