then i hit f5:

there is no code in my project that could possibly change anything to do with the screen or the view. i just used the default f5 to increase the window size from 640x480 to 800x600, and the contents of the window are tinted darker.

increasing window size again is still the same dark tint.

increasing window size again results in a crash because the window can't be bigger than the actual resolution.
it would be nice if that could be fixed, too but i kno it's unrelated.

any possible explanation?

I had this too, except it went completely black after changing the resolution. As far as I recall, it didn't have anything to do with Lite-C but was due to my DX not being completely up to date. I'd check whether there are new DX versions available.

wow... unbelieveably fast reply thank you! i mean, sometimes people are just on when u ask, but u had an answer, too, and i already hav 12 or so views.

ill give it a go, thanks for the tip

im pretty sure i already hav directx 9.c downloaded and installed... im not sure how to check on this laptop but i got it only a couple of months ago, with integrated graphics by nVidia, and the fact that i can actually run directX 9 applications, im pretty sure its got it. the microsoft site says directX 9.c latest version is 2004, so i dont think i hav troubles there. any other suggestions?

Hehe, sometimes people are simply around when you need them

I'm not sure about my point with the DX version, though. I think there are multiple version of DX 9c available, identifyable by date of release. If I'm not completely mistaken, there should be a version of June 06 or something... probably there even is a newer version. The only tip I can give you in that regard is do a quick search for "dx9_redist" - I can remember that to be the filename of all those packages.

thanks , ill give that a go tomorrow when i get home from school!

I'll have to look into this. Does the color change on [F5] only happen with that particular project, or with the included projects as well?

only with this project, which worries me, because all my other problems have been mistakes of my own i might build a reputation! however, i havnt done anything that could affect the screen or view, i'm really sure, and i have no functions of my own that use the f5 key.

Ok, can you send that project to the support? There should be some reason for the color change but I'd need the project to find out.

will do, thanks
