This is usually caused by the 320x200x16bpp DirectX mode not being available. This is unfortunately becoming more common on newer cards. You can force it manually into fullscreen mode by setting fswidth=640, fsheight=480 in ffewin.cfg, but this tends to look pretty nasty and is likely to be even slower than windowed mode. If newer drivers don’t enable the 320x200x16bpp mode, the only option is the DJGPP versions.
