i downloaded your LBA, installed and when i open the .exe, appears a window asking if i want to start in fullscreen mode or not.
If i choose "n", then the game starts at window mode and works perfectly.
If i choose "y", there is two ways: sometimes appears a message saying something about the resolution in fullscreen, like 640x480-32 can't be opened. Or the game opens in fullscreen, i can hear all the sounds but there's no video, it's just a black screen with the sounds of the game. Then, if i alt+enter, the game returns to window mode and works perfectly again!

i played a little at window mode, it works and it's great playing Twinsen's Odyssey again, but i would like if the game be in fullscreen mode :T

any ideas?

Does your monitor not support this resolution?  What kind of monitor do you have?  Even widescreen monitors should be able to support that old resolution.  Have you installed the latest video drivers for your video card?

See if you can set a resolution of 640 x 480 in some of your modern games.  If your monitor doesn't support that resolution, you're out of luck.  It might be too low for that monitor.
