I am using directdraw for programming a graphics game, I have 2 characters. I have a problem as when I use resoultionb of 1024 * 768, the game still shows up at 800 * 600, but to make make up for the excess screen there is a white band of flashing screen around the game . So in other words the game screen is reduced and dosent take up the whole screen. Also when I use 800 * 600 resoultion it works fine. 640 * 480 works too but anything greater than 800 *600 dosent work. Anyone know what the problem is?
