Desktop resolution does work in fullscreen mode. I wouldn't mind playing in window mode if it worked at full resolution.

The usual reason for this happening in windowed mode, is that the end user has forgotten to ensure that the "auto-hide" function for the windows task-bar is set to off, as explained in the "tuning your machine" section of the game guide.

It may also be fooled if your task-bar is set to the sides of the screen, or perhaps the top. i.e. anything other than the windows default position at the bottom of the screen.

(The graphics engine is DirectX6 or so, i.e. before the task bar hiding function was introduced, most likely).

I'm happily running it on a 1080i wide screen monitor ATM (1920x1080) or on my old brick of a CRT monitor (which is 4:3 and runs to 1600x1280). However - to do so on this computer, I had to upgrade from the old 256MB Geoforce graphics card to a 512MB one - on the old card it could only run full 1080i at a 30hz interlaced refresh rate, which was intolerable.
