Have you tried

LPDEVMODE lpDevMode;
ZeroMemory(lpDevMode, sizeof(DEVMODE));
lpDevMode->dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
ChangeDisplaySettings(lpDevMode, CDS_FULLSCREEN);

?

[ShortCoder]

Sorry...you'll probably want

LPDEVMODE lpDevMode;
lpDevMode = (LPDEVMODE) LocalAlloc(LPTR, sizeof(DEVMODE));
ZeroMemory(lpDevMode, sizeof(DEVMODE));
lpDevMode->dmSize = sizeof(DEVMODE);
ChangeDisplaySettings(lpDevMode, CDS_FULLSCREEN);

/* rest of your code */

LocalFree(lpDevMode);

And, yes, I haven't tested this so go test it yourself then if you care.:P
