If I am running fullscreen, is it ever a bad idea to...
Author
... make the window be 0 pixels across, and 0 pixels down? It works for me (with XP), but I don''t know if it wouldn''t work with a different Windows version, or maybe it wouldn''t work for some other reason. Is there any reason not to do this?
Do you mean to set the video mode to 0x0 (which I don''t think cards support) Or have the application window be 0x0... If its the application window, I don''t think anything bad would happen in fullscreen, however I''ve never tried it, so....

I mean the application''s window.
Also, I would do this so it wouldn''t flash the popup window before going into fullscreen.

the setting to stop it flashing is
hWnd = CreateWindow(name, caption, WS_POPUP , 0, 0, width, height, GetDesktopWindow(), NULL, wc.hInstance, NULL );
hWnd = CreateWindow(name, caption, WS_POPUP , 0, 0, width, height, GetDesktopWindow(), NULL, wc.hInstance, NULL );
not sure what you mean, but basically is your problem that when you make a ful screen the mouse still flickers on the sides and if u click it alt tabs?
basically that does is get rid of the borders or something

No, what I am saying is the window will show right before the display mode switches to full screen.
Anyways, I found this in MSDN:
If you attempt to create a device on a 0x0 sized window, IDirect3D9::CreateDevice will fail.
However, it works fine for me. Could someone else try it?

If you make a window with no title bar or borders.. (preferably with a black or white background) that is exactly the size of the screen. It will change the screen to that color, which will make the resolution switch less noticable.
