My screen isn't fullscreen upon download

[PurpleMofo]

on my new PC and i cannot get P99 to run in full screen mode. i tried setting the "eqgame" file to Vista SP2 and run as Admin, but no luck. I get a resize error when trying to switch to full screen.
i also tried modifying the eqclient file, but then the game crashed when logging in.

any other suggestions?

This is a very common issue when doing non standard resolutioNS/aspect ratios.

I always tell people to play in 1024x768 , you have to write this in both windowed and fullscreen sections in eq.ini , once in game, if game loads windowed, just press ALT ENTER to go into fullscreen mode (this can crash the game for some people) so then do as mentioned by poster before, set windowed section to FALSE using the low resolution I mentioned, from there you can increase until the game no longer loads, and thats your threshold
