0. Update on bad behavior.
a. Uninstalled and reinstalled CD v1.012
b. Discovered problem not just with the Screen/Window Size (resolution), but also with Default Battle Pairing and Battle Date. Left clicking on any of these results in the WinSPMBT Game Options freezing. Not a new problem, just hadn't gotten down the list to check these.
c. Installing the WinSPMBTver6.0 Consolidation Patch, did not change this behavior.
d. Going into Short Cut Properties/Compatibility and setting compatibility to Windows XP SP3 did not change the behavior. Didn't expect a change, but tried it.
e. Have not tested as extensively but my CD copy of WinSPWW2 shows the same behavior.
f. Oddly enough, in CD v1.012 the resolution is ????x1024 (don't remember the first number) and in CD v6.0 it is 800x600.

1. Correct. Used to work and now doesn't without any changes to the game by me.

2. I doubt it is a monitor problem as I'm using the same monitor and it is displaying the game in 800x600 with no problem. That is not the problem. The problem is that that is the only resolution available without freezing the Options Screen.

3. There is a new video card. I replaced my NVidia 5xx with a NVidia 660. Card has 3 MB of memory vs 1 MB on the old card, so prob not a lack of memory.

4. "Try 'desktop' mode and see if that works?. " If that involves using the WinSPMBT Game Options Screen, ofc I can't as that is the basic problem. Is there some other way to set game resolution other than the Game Options Screen?

5. Once the Screen freezes, the only way to close it is with Windows Task Manager to End Task. Which gives me two popup:

Gameoptions
Access violation at address 00403173 in module 'GameOptions.exe'. Read of address 00000000.

End Program-Gameoptions
The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you.

Really hoping there is a fix as the WinSPxxx are huge favorites.

UPDATE
Was just looking around and was wondering if I can set default screen resolution in the WinSPMBT\GameDate\CamoGame.ini file? It looks like if I were to change the ScreenWidth=800 value to 1600, I would get 1600x1200, maybe. Hesitant to mess with it without guidance.
