640*480 is the default display mode for darkBASIC if you want to change it just use

set display mode screen width, screen height, screen depth

The happenings of tommorow are behind us now

The flash is probably your video card changing the resolution to what DarkBasic is using... perfectly normal.

The flashing is an issue with DBC and WinXP...
Update 1.13 should fix this for you

Also, that square was where the mouse should have been - the sprite for the mouse wasn't being shown cos your screen was going crazy with the flashing

1.13 on XP, flash neber fixed!

Instead of this:

Quote: "
paste image 1,0,0
wait key
"


Do something like this:

Quote: "
sync on

do
cls
paste image 1,0,0
if inkey$()<>"" then exit
loop
"



...Or use excessive amounts of 3D, your choice.

How's my typing? Phone 0800-GO-TO-HELL
