I am making an app that should work on all computers including netbooks --> (the purpose of this app).

the app is working perfect on the netbook part of the graphics which is streched out of the screen resolution (640,480,32).

1- images used in .PNG format.
2- display resolution 1024,600,32.
3- app window resolution 640,480,32. (other resolutions tried and 4- failed).
4- full display mode tried and failed.

one more information is that I am adding the necessary DLLs manualy. because I want to keep my netbook DLL free.

the app is made in DBpro (all AppGameKit apps are tried successfully) so I think the matter is technical.

I am not really sure what exactly you are asking but it sounds to me like you are trying to find which resolutions you can use.

Random trying isn't going to get you anywhere as different systems support different resolutions. You can find out which ones with the help of the "PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR DISPLAY MODES" command.

You should be able to write a small function that will select the best solution based on this.

If I misunderstood what you need please elaborate.

@basjak, DBPro will stretch 2D graphics if you are setting the display resolution different to the window resolution in some circumstances.

There are a number of different ways of overcoming this issue but it also depends how you are displaying the images. Are you pasting images or sprites? Are you setting the size of the sprites according to the display size?

It would be easier for us to help if you could give some example code that shows the problem or at least a screenshot?

sorry guys I had to be away for a while.

I sorted out the problem by setting the texture flag value to 1 (load image file_name$,imgno,1)

the day was long and the code was intensive until I ran out of solutions. next day I did that and it worked.

technically, i think the netbook graphic card cannot support the default value which is 0 (although I got the latest).
