Reality Factory

I have just installed the latest version. I wanted to first run the tech demo and ran into a little problem. The genesis3D logo came on, then the reality factory logo. After that music started playing and I have a blank screen. Here are my logs:

Ok. I did it. I finally got the tech demo to work. I went into the realityfactory.ini file and changed fullscreen to false. This allowed me to run the demo. For some reason I cannot run it in fullscreen mode. Anyway, it's a cool demo. I love how it shows off the professional capabilities of Reality Factory

BTW,
All of my drivers are up to date as well as DirectX (version 9.0c)

I finally figured out how to get the tech demo to play in fullscreen mode. I changed Driver=d3d to Driver=d3d16.

Q. valid values for the d3d24.ini files?

Bpp: 16, 24, 32 (most video cards just support 16 and 32)
ZBufferD: 16, 24 (Bpp should be higher or equal to this value)
BBufferCount : 1, 2 (2 is tripple buffering)
CompressTextures: 0, 1 (1: compress textures on the fly)
FSAntiAliasing: 0, 1 (1: Fullscreen antialiasing softens pixel edges)
ExtraTextures: 0, 1 (1: bumpmapping)
NoVsync: 0, 1
Async: 0, 1
DoNotWait: 0, 1
