Whenever i run in fullscreen, after I exit, my screen gets all messed up and scribbled up. What is causing this and how do I fix it???

It is probably your video card or its drivers. What card do you have, and what OS?

I have a 8meg ATI rage pro (kinda crappy) and i''m running windows 98. I don''t understand why that would mess it up though becasue i run very complex games that use DX and they run fine

This is a little different framework applied on lesson5:
