1. graphics modes
hello :)
i have been using graphics_mode 257, 259 & 261 for my planetarium program with
no problems on my home PC
but when i try to run the same program on euphoria a different pc - instead of
seeing the usual 'full' screen display - i see a small window (about 1 quarter of
the screens 'surface area') and no graphics... just text... and even the text is
not in the colours that i had programmed using the pallette() function
i the program on the DOS version of euphoria if this makes a difference
my home pc is a LOT older than the one on which i am having this problem if that
too might be relevant
oh - ive just been told that computer im having the problem on is operating with
Windows 2000 Professional whereas i think my home pc is Windows 98
maybe there are extra commands i need for different operating systems???
cheerz :)

It seems to me, this your new PC has a LCD flat panel,
not usual CRT monitor.
If so, try please to adjust that LCD monitor with
its manual.

Try please the use_vesa(1) command, maybe,
it is an issue too:
include machine.e
use_vesa(1)
in the first line of your program.
