OK I think I know what the problem might be then. You need to change your video driver. SDL has changed the default behavior to using Windows GDI rather than DirectX. In order to use DirectX video modes with Eternity, you need to do one of the following:
1. Before starting Eternity (and every time), you could do:
set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx
at a command prompt. You must then run Eternity from the same command prompt, without having closed it, for the variable to take effect.
2. Use the command-line parameter -directx to Eternity directly, and EE will set the proper environment variable on its own.
3. Find out how to permanently set environment variables in the version of Windows that you are running (you said Win98SE earlier, so in that case you would add them to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file under the root of the primary hard disk). If you add the same command from above, or add the variable to the list box that is used in NT-based Windows OSes instead, you will never have to worry about it from then on. However, all SDL programs will use this setting.
If this doesn't fix it, or causes other problems, let me know.
