Re: Losing full screen
Full-screen mode is not supported, it is only there as legacy code from the old MS-DOS days. Modern Windows post XP thinks the 256 colour palette belongs to it for effects, especiually windows 7 which steps on it for Aero mode which is why the game uses a "kill explorer" script in full screen mode.
So - full screen is no longer supported. It is still there for people who have windows systems that let the game play that way - not all windows and or video card drivers will allow it, unfortunately.
Therefore set your resolution to desktop, and your mode to windowed and the game uses the full windows palette with no conflict and uses the full desktop size, less the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Assuming you have the full game and not the free demo of course.
