The NeHe shell''s full screen mode doesn''t work very well on my NT box. The office bar stays on top of the image, as does the task bar. It''s also frightfully slow. Anyone have any thoughts as to why, or can suggest either changes to the code or my machine to resolve it?

I think you must tell us more like the graphics card you are using.

Hmm, my friend had the same problem... but then he installed some new opengl32.dll file or something like that and it worked like a charm He was using a 3dfx based card... that might be relevant... but im not sure

It''s quite certain the call to create the window is CreateWindow(). Change that in CreateWindowEx() and pass WS_EX_TOPMOST to it as extended windowsstyle (see documentation of CreateWindowEx()). This way, the popup window that is created is the most top window, above the shell window with everything on it (even the officebar).

example:

  hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_APPWINDOW | WS_EX_TOPMOST | WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY, sAppName,sWindowTitle,       WS_POPUP , 0, 0, iWindowWidth, iWindowHeight,      hParentWnd, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
