I have tried the CMD file with the 4.5 patch and everything else listed here on the forums yet my screens are horrible when in full screen mode at 1600X1200.

The screens are fine in windowed mode but the window streaches across the screen and the mouse does not work (makes it a little hard to start the scenrios lol).

I have the CD version all the latest nVidia drivers. The game is NOT installed on the C drive either. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
I am trying to make some sense of this post...

Your problem appears to be only with full-screen mode from what I can make out. i.e. Windowed mode is working fine?.

Why should taskkill.exe be anywhere near our game folder. Since it is a Windows (Vista plus) intrinsic function, it is always available to batch files. (It lives in the /Windows system files hierarchy). Thus there is absolutely no need to supply this, as it is already there and in the system path. (Unless you have XP, but as the batch file is for Vista+, not relevant).

If you have to make a copy of it locally to make windowed mode work, then something is rather wrong with your windows Vista/seven installation, I think. Since it cannot find the path to the windows system folder.

What exact path did you install your game (and all the patches) to?
