How to get a DxDiag File

[8|]

[Bleck]

Please provide DxDiag log file and ConsoleOut.txt (ToWs root directory). You can also try to rename both avi files in "data" directory ("intro.avi" and "intro2.avi") to let's say "_intro.avi" and "_intro2.avi";

Try this: open data\GlobalSettings.csv file in notepad, change numeric value in first line to 7, so first line should look like this:
7;Screen mode
Then save this file and run ToW, it should start in fullscreen... you can also try with other values (range 0 to 15 in your case, values > 15 will run game in max allowed window mode). Also, when in windowed mode you can try to minimize the game window and bring it back.
