Using the Alt+Enter to switch the screen mode between full and windowed is only an commendation by MS.
Although in the Win API there is a function implemented to do this, it isnt mandatory to do that.
Conitec chose another way. The engine also has two built-in functions for changing the mode.
Refer to the wideo_switch and video_set in the manual.
If you are new to using the manual open that and type the fullscreen word in the search tab's searching field and press enter.
Review the first two hits.

try putting this in your script:
Under Void Main()
It should force full screen. If not, change the 8 to a 7. // different scr sizes.

Although I'm using XP as well.

function fullscreen_startup()

{

while (1)

{

video_switch(8, 0, 1);

wait (1);

}

}

yeh, use 'video_switch'/'video_set' but don't put it in a while loop like Ed_the_Sock suggested, because that is crazy

.

You can use the 'on_enter' event to change it...

Code:

var fullscreen = FALSE;

function SwitchScreen()
{
if(key_alt == 1) 
{
if(fullscreen == TRUE)
{
video_set(0,0,0,2);
fullscreen = FALSE;
}
else
{
video_set(0,0,0,1);
fullscreen = TRUE;
}
}
}

function main()
{
on_enter = SwitchScreen;
}

I haven't tested it, but it looks ok.
