Need Help!

My screen resolution is set to 1024 x 768, and that is what it was set to before I tried switching to windowed mode. The problem developed after I tried increasing the resolution to 1152 x 864. Now, the game only works if I have the game set to display in 1024 x 768, it won't load at all if it is set to anything else. This means that I can't run the game in windowed mode now, and I don't know how to fix it.

That is strenge. My monitor resolution is set at 1152 x 864 and it works fine on either mode. I am assuming that you are ussing the latest patch (1.17).

Check the setup, set the Video Memory to "safe" to see if it makes any difference (as well as any other setting).

I do have the latest version, and Video Memory is set to safe. For some reason, though, if I set my screen resolution any higher than 1024 x 768 and then click "Play"...the game will just not start up and I get that application error. The game runs fine if I keep the screen resolution, and the SF window display set to 1024 x 768 though. I'm thinking perhaps something messed up with DirectX?

Try setting your desktop to something above 1024, then try Starfury at a higher resolution (mostly to see if that works)

Ok, I tried that and Starfury works at the higher resolution, but it still won't work in windowed mode. I get the same application error.

Huh. That's an odd combination. When you first changed the resolution when SF was running, what did you change it from and what did you change it to?

My screen resolution (in Windows properties) was at 1024 x 768, and I changed it to 1152 x 864.
