Hey all! So i've been programing something using Dx5 (yeah, you heard correcty, dx5 ;) i know it's prehistoric and don't ask me why i'm using it). So i create window, directdraw, surfaces, d3ddevice, viewport... (this is a fullscreen application). And here's the problem: if i set the resolution (viewport, surfaces using setDisplayMode) to 1024x768 the whole thing gets drawn in 640x480. So i get correct content in upper left corner measuring 640x480 and black surface on the right and bottom. Just seems like the scene doesn't get stretched to fullscreen since the window is of correct size? All the surfaces, directdraw, window are created 1024x768. What could i be missing? Here is how it looks like (i've borrowed the duke nukem3d screenshot do demonstrate the problem) image

how are you using blt to draw on your back buffer or primary surface?

what do you mean by how?

and is that important since i do DrawPrimitive for 3d stuff?

If it were me. I would concentrate on learning DX9 or even 10.

Well i'm not trying to learn DX5, i'm just trying to fix some code that has been written ages ago. And i can't learn DX10 since i do not have vista.
