setcooperative level

[Karen]

Hi. Am new to MTU. Just purchased Microstudio 2.314, however, got various errors given I'm using Windows XP Professional. Got through most errors, except 1) "SetCooperativeLevel" error and 2) Microstudio Error Create Surfact (4) Failed". I've emailed assitance regarding #2. However, was wondering if anyone could assist on #1.

Computer:
Processor: AMD Athlon MP Procession 1800+
Memory: 1024 MB RAM
DirectX 8.1
Monitor: KDS
Video Card: ATI Radeon 8500DV.
Window XP Professional

According to the video card, the resolution does not go down to 320x240. However, I read somewhere else that this does not mean that the video card must be set at 320x240. I'm not sure how to change the display to ful-screen. Also heard, that most video cards now do not go to 320-240 either. I really do not want to change video cards as the Radeon is being used for video editing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
