Hi, I just got darkbasic and I already have a problem. When I try to Perform a checklist for display modes nothing comes up. I don't think my graphics card is that bad so why is nothing showing up.

Code? I don't really know what the checklist is supposed to do. The tutorials just say to perform a checklist for display modes, but when I do nothing shows up. Sorry this is probably a stupid question.

Heh, I meant show us your source code! It sounds like you're forming the check for modes and then not actually doing anything with the results - if this is the case I can post some code to show you how it works.

Cheers,

Rich

Opps sorry, that code will give you a list of graphics cards in your machine - you wanted a list of display modes, right? (i.e. all those values like 640x480, 800x600, etc).

Try this instead:



Cheers,

Rich
