when i click run on dxwnd it starts the game in fullscren mode. I already copied the settings from EnglishBen's tutorial for the setup guide.

Where's your copy of dxwnd from?

I just downloaded it from a random website. v2_05_75_build

Random downloads of dxwnd have always had issues.

Try this one - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zwqRaskO3H6O5j-mziyiBvpn2XM73Mfm/view?usp=sharing

Same result

redownloaded the game and it seems to work now:D
