Full Screen View . . . why can't I enjoy it too?

Hy,
Discovered Celestia 3 days ago. God ... I thought that I caught GOD by hand. I've been captured by Universe since 5 years when I first saw a nebula looking like a horse head. The picture just fascinated me.
I bought, as the time passed, some astronomy atlases ... but a Universe Simulator ... is more than I could ever want.
But still there seem to be a problem ...
I run Celestia on Windows XP platform. The videocard is on board (the agp one just burned out :twisted: - I must buy another one :D ), the name is SIS 630/730 and I can't see fullscreen. 64 MB I give to it.
Is there an incompatibility?
Regards

ShyFox,

Exactly what do you mean by "I can't see fullscreen"?

The option isn't available? (it's in the Render/Set Display Mode menu)
The resolution options are too low? (upgrade the display INF file)
The system crashes? (upgrade the graphics drivers)

Something I'm not thinking of?

What happends when you Select full screen from the Render menu ?

It is most likley most of your problems will diapear when you do get back to using an AGP video card again
Anythig from Nvidia, above a Gforce2 card will give you great results.
