Solved: 8 Years, 8 Months, 4 Weeks ago Amnesia won't launch in fullscreen

Hi, everyone, I can't seem to get Amnesia to run in fullscreen. I end up with a black screen and have to ctrl+alt+delete to get out of it. It works fine in windowed mode, but that completely kills any chance of immersion, which is something that I really loved about the Penumbra series. I've tried just about everything I've seen on here and I'm really hoping I can get this to work and enjoy the pants urinating horror that I've come to expect from Frictional Games.

Here's my system specs

Model: Toshiba Qosmio X775
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors
RAM: 6 GB
Video Card: NVidia GeForce GTX 560m
Hard disk: 1 TB

and my hpl.log

Did you try to update your drivers?

Yeah, the device manager said the drivers were up to date.

Also, here's the BlackBox I get when it crashes.

I'm not asking for device manager, you should manually install your graphic drivers.
Your operating system is 32-bit, right?

So, download this: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-wi...river.html
Uninstall your graphic driver
Restart your computer
Install this one

Should do the trick.

64-bit actually, will this driver work? Sorry, should have specified that in the OP.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the 64-bit version.

EDIT2: Worked like a charm, thanks so much!
