It can be fullscreen, although I didn't have an oppurtunity to test that 
out (as I couldn't use the gui, and thus couldn't easily switch to 
fullscreen).  I too fear it may be a graphics card issue, although it 
was a relatively new laptop so this seems unlikely, as I thought modern 
3D cards no longer had problems with openGL...
