How do I get Flowmotion to output fullscreen on my video out?
Enable your second screen in the video settings before starting flowmotions using 'extend my Windows desktop across this monitor'. Then start Flowmotion and click on the 'fullscreen' button above the bpm slider.

Why doesn't my video output show a complete picture?
You need to set your main screen resolution to 1024x768 and your second screen resolution to 640x480 before starting Flowmotion. If you see small black borders around the output see 'How do I get rid of the black borders around my video output?'

How do I get my video output at 640x480?
Windows usually hides modes lower than 800x600, but you can still get at them through the following method:
1. go to Display Properties
2. click on Settings
3. Click on the second screen, activate it if necessary
4. Click on 'Advanced'
5. Click on the 'Adapter' tab
6. Click on 'List All Modes'
7. Double click on '640 by 480, 32 bit (any freq your tv out can handle)
8. That's it, I really recommend running the output at 640x480 if you work at internal resolution of 320x240, it scales up nicely. If you insist on using 800x600, set the quality in Flowmotion to 400x300

How do I get rid of the black borders around my video output?
Most video cards underscan the picture, because PAL and NTSC resolutions are different from the ones that your computer uses. Depending on which video card you use, it might be possible to enable overscan instead. This way you lose a few pixels on the edges, but at least the image stretches all the way to the edges.
If you have an ATI card, install the latest drivers, go to your tv settings, and in adjustments, select 'enable overscan'
Most Matrox cards should have the overscan option in the settings too
For Nvidia cards, people use this app called "TVTool" to enable overscan.
