Also, have you tried switching between openGL and directX in the UT setup?

(whichever you have selected now, force UT to use the other)..
I remember that back in the day my dad's P2-450 wouldn't run UT in FS either.. going to latest UT openGL drivers and using openGL instead of (autodetected) directx fixed it.

hey t3 I had that problem once or twice. My solution was in the display settings of my monitor. If you go to the panel where you run your different displays, say if u had 2 monitors, etc...

I have a box that says "scale image to panel size" that was always why I couldnt play in full screen.
