Full screen not working

[Keinart]

I got a really weird error today when trying the VN I'm developing on my personal computer. When I try to change it to full screen mode I get an error and a traceback is open saying the following

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Could not set video mode.

-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------

Full traceback:

Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3
Ren'Py 6.13.12.1728

I didn't make any changes in any of the lines mentioned there, they are not even lines from my game they are from renpy itself!

I tried to change the resolution of the screen from 16:10 to 16:9 and it works fine this way. But I remember to change to full screen before with this same computer and it was fine :/
The resolution of the game is 1280x720 pixels (HD) but I don't why it won't work on screens on different resolutions.

Thank you!

Up!

In short: I can't put the game in fullscreen if the resolution is not 16:9. Anybody know why?
