This could be a simple solution to the problem some people are having with text size in windowed mode. If anyone tries this please let us know how it worked for you

The display issue and how to correct it has been discussed on other threads. See the Tip: Full (or near full) screen Win 7 fix above. However that fixes what you show for Vista and Win7, I have NO IDEA how what you show occured using XP. I use XP, Andy uses XP, neither of us has ever seen that happen running XP but you may get positive results from running that Win 7 fix

Also, I am unclear on what you mean when you say "when displaying with resolution under desktop one in full screen "

"under desktop one" ???

That said, we have also said many times that full screen and windowed modes exist to ensure one of them works and it would appear that windowed mode works for you.

As for font size it's not going to change there is no way to make it change without tearing most of the game apart. Without my glasses I cannot see anything on the screen. With them I can read everything OK. We offer the higher resolutions so that those that can use them have access to them. If you need a lower resolution to read the fonts then you need to run in a lower resolution that's why we included all of them. No other SP based game does.

I tried reinstalling DirectX, but I already have the last.
When I Alt-Tab the game and come back to it, for 2 seconds the game is good, then it becomes blurry again.

Sorry for my not good English (French native), I meant "with a smaller resolution"

That said, we have also said many times that full screen and windowed modes exist to ensure one of them works

Yeah. But maybe changing the resolution can fix the small fonts. I wanted to try both in fscreen or window.

As I already wrote (other thread), you should put a second resolution option: The one which the game would swap to when displaying the texts (the screens other than the combat one).

Great work! Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit, running in windowed mode @ 1920x1080
Intel Quadcore 870
GTX 275 Driver version 260.99

*IF* you occasionally find you have issues with graphics running WINDOWED mode try running the game in GDI mode instead of DirectX mode

Did you unzip these files to the game's installation folder (point 2 in the original post) or simply to the desktop or a temp folder?. If the latter and you then tried to run them stand-alone then of course they will object to not having access to the rest of the game files!

If you have installed the game to somewhere else than the default folder then of course you will have to unzip the files to wherever that is. If you cannot remember where you did so - try a search for the file winspww2.exe.

Do you have windows 7 or vista?. If so - did you install the game under /program files/... ?.

Cheers

Where did you unzip this to ? Both of those .dlls are in the main folder of EVERY version of either game and if you unzip to the main folder of winspww2 it will find them when you start the game up from GameOptions
