As I don't use Win 7 I am only guessing here but it sounds like incomparability issue so why don't you try to right mouse click on the EXE file and click on Properties and the tab Compatibility and check Run this program in compatibility mode for: (You could try Win XP)

Also there are others setting in the same tab you could try.

Basically the game it is not permitting you to run full screen on Win 7 on your current configuration.
