Yep I tried with a vid card driver and no dice; also ctrl-enter doesn't seem to back out to a window.. maybe that's only for DOS box programs?
Thanks for that tip re the res settings. You're right I think I can actually be pretty content in a window as is. But, is there some way to zoom out slightly on the province maps? I swear I somehow managed to see much more of the map using a friend's laptop recently, and now it just looks really "zoomed-in" to me. Yet when I tried the higher-res window just now I didn't see much of a scale change. Am I hallucinating?
(BTW my Win is true old-school non-SE. Don't ask me why..)
