Default "Someone threw the following string: Unable to set full screen video mode; check video driver?"
After the intro plays, the screen goes black and a debug menu pops up with the message "Someone threw the following string: Unable to set full screen video mode; check video driver?"

I've got DirectX 9c, my video card driver is up to date. Running XP. Set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 2000 and checked off that other box. I'm running the game off my hard drive (nocdfix) and the DirectX patch.

I've tried changing my resolution to 800x600 and my colors to 16 bit and 32 bit, but no luck yet.

Anyone seen this before? Any ideas?
