If I try to load a .x file using the standard screen resolution set by Dark Basic, the model loads correctly, but it seems that any use of the 'set screen mode' command either sets the light level to something ridiculously high or some of the model flags are set to something malapropos.
`set display mode 1024,768,32
backdrop off
cls 0
load object "Models\ship.x",11
wait key
end
Below are two pictures. The first shows the model having been loaded without the 'set screen mode' command, while the second shows what happens when you attempt to change the screen resolution then load the same model.

Any ideas?
It seems every time i try to start a program something gets in the way at an early stage
