Try running a simple script on your laptop. Something like this:
Code:
viz.go( viz.FULLSCREEN )
viz.add( 'tut_ground.wrl' )
If this script provides the fullscreen look you want then there is probably a function in your other script that turns on some "3D effect." Post a screen shot if you are still having problems.
FYI, you can get Vizard 3.0 beta on the WorldViz download page. This would give you integrated AVI recording.
