So I'm playing full screen version, and switch it to windowed mode to look up something on the wiki. Then, when I try to make the game full screen again, an error pops up stating "Mode switch failed. Running in windowed mode." It then sets me up with a larger window, with black space included (I had it turned on in the init file).
So I restart the game, and this time it goes straight to the error message above(I had it set to go straight to full screen in the init). So I quit, go back to my backup file, which is an exact copy of the game when downloaded, and I get the same message. I try restarting my computer, no change. It may be a vista thing, but I'm not sure.

Sorry for posting, I fixed it myself; not quite sure how, though. I ran DF in safe mode and the fullscreen worked fine. In regular mode, I set the resolution to 800x600 and that worked as well. Then I switched back to 1280x960, and set the init file's fullscreen resolution to that setting as well. This also worked, though the font was still a little small. Then I switched the init back to 800x600, and it miraculously worked. I tried it with the unedited backup copy, and that worked too. Computers are crazy.
