This version of SP and some questions for the owners

[Imp]

Purchasing the game is very worth while if for nothing else because of the resolution.
MBT already has the widescreen in beta (actualy its desktop it auto configures to use the same dettings as your desktop) & the next patch for both games will provide it for those that bought the game.
Didnt bother reading what you wrote but makes all issues with operating stystems redundant works a treat.
My view tough if its difficult to get it to run its free & is an old game, pay & you just instal & play which is more than reasonable they had to get it to work.
