Now for the wish, please, please, please, pretty please add an option to play the game in 1440x900. I run it on a Macbook Pro and it works great running under both Parallels and Crossover Games, but the largest screen size I can use is 1024x768. I'm really wasting a lot of screen real-estate.

I believe 1440x900 is a very popular native resolution for a lot of laptops these days, so I'm sure there are others who would also appreciate this.

Thanks again for a great game!

Select windowed mode, and a resolution greater than your desktop size (1680 would do here). Unless your graphics driver has some problems, the window will take up your full desktop size, less the area for your Windows taskbar which remains at the bottom of the screen (So you can see the clock, email notifications etc). As described in the Game Guide, do not use the "auto hide" feature on the taskbar. Now adjust your mouse scroll sensitivity zone to match, if needed (e.g. problems at the bottom of the screen).

All as already described in the "Tuning Your Machine" section on windowed mode in your game Guide, and multiple times in these forums.

(Presuming the mac Windows emulator works as for regular Windows?.)

Cheers

Unfortunately for me, the maximum resolution I can select is 1600x1280. My desktop is at 1680x1050. Any chance for me?

I have also been using winSPWW2 on Mac (3 year old macbook) with Parallels for a year or so, and it works fine. It eats battery life, but I suppose most games do.

The only odd thing I can think of is that the splash screen at start is upside down. I play while within Parallels full screen mode (go to full screen before starting game).

I haven't used the email function.
