Running SEIV from Hi Resolution Desktop

[Thufir]

I've been playing MP Dom2, and I've enjoyed it so much, that I thought it was time to add another MP addiction SEIV. However, I've encountered one issue in the demo that while not a deal-breaker, is really quite annoying. That is the fact that you need to manually (or perhaps through a batch file) change your resolution to 1024x768 (or lower) in order to have the main window use the full monitor.

Before I go any further, is this issue fixed in the main game w/ latest patch? If so, read no further, I'll just buy the game

If not (as I'd guess, based on what I've read so far), then I could use some help writing a batch file to handle changing the resolution. I found this thread that gives a few clues, but does not supply a full working batch file:


I'm running WindowsXP, in 1600x1200,

I've figured out so far that rundll has become rundll32 and that deskcp16.dll has become deskadp.dll for my OS. According to the post, that would leave me with the something like the following batch file:

rundll32 deskadp.dll,QUICKRES_RUNDLLENTRY 1024x768x24
se4.exe
rundll32 deskadp.dll,QUICKRES_RUNDLLENTRY 1600x1200x24
pause

However, with this batch file I get the following error message:
Error in desadp.dll
Missing entry:QUICKRES_RUNDLLENTRY

Which makes it sound like perhaps there is some other syntax for specifying parameters?

I should mention that I've got 2 goals out of this batch file:
1) Automatically change the resolution back and forth
2) With a manual resolution change I have the side effect of losing 3/4 of my desktop space, since windows squashes all your desktop icons into the 1/4 space that remains. I want to eliminate this side effect.

It's #2 that makes this limitation in SEIV so heinous, for those of us that do our work at higher resolutions. Giving up 3/4 of my desktop to SEIV, no matter how great the game, is pretty bogus. All the more so, since changing resolution within the game code is not rocket science.

I have all the reason in the world to believe that SEIV is a great game, but if this limitation has not yet been fixed in a patch, then please do so!!! If it has been fixed, I'm hoping nobody is reading this rant

Back to fixing the problem:
So, if anyone out there can tell me the correct parameters and/or DLLs to get this batch file to work on WindowsXP, I would be most appreciative!

TIA,
