Running the game in windowed 1024x768 mode. Attempted to swap to full screen. Game "went" full screen, but completely froze up. After waiting 5 minutes, I killed the java process. I then attempted to restart the game, The screen would flash black for a second (going into full screen mode)and then drop back to desktop.

Machine specs:
Windows 7 64bit
core 2 3ghz
4gb ram
ATI HD3850 video
directX11
ATI Catalyst 10.5
the monitor it was running on is 1600x900 widescreen

I poked at the logs in the document settings\[user]\appdata\locallow\spiral\ folder and saw two log files which I am posting the contents here:
