Trouble with 640 x 480 resolution

[Kenneth]

Ironfist: I have tried to do as you wrote. It didn't work, but thanks anyway.

Mobhack: I can't open GameOptions, but I've tried changing the CamoGame.ini file, and it doesn't work in full screen mode, or in windowed mode.

It says VGA on the back of the monitor, so I don't think it should have any difficulties with 640 x 480 resolution.

If all else fails. Uninstall and reinstall might take far less time and aggravation
Good luck!

If it is a very old monitor then VGA drivers on it may not be available?. 640 by 480 is super VGA (I think) if I recall my 1980s level of MSDOS knowledge. VGA was 320 by something 16 colour mode?. If that monitor is that old, it is useless.

if the game options programme does not even come up - then it cannot handle 16 bit colour. So likely not even SVGA

I would find a monitor that is more modern that 1990 or whatever date it was.

Mobhack/Andy: I think SVGA is 800 x 600 or higher. 640 x 480 is, as far as I know, a standard graphics mode for VGA. Most programs seem to work fine with the monitor. I checked the resolution on the web, and it confirms that the monitor is currently using 640 x 480 resolution. But, I guess I'll have to abstain from winSPWW2 as long as I'm using the "new old" monitor. It's not a big deal -- I've been using the free version of the game, but thank you for your feedback, and if you are the Andy that helped develop winSPWW2, I want to thank you for the work you've done.
