The problem of resolution

[wudang_clown]

1. I have:

Vista 32; EB + AlexEB.

2. What I want to do:

Lower the resolution from 1024x768 to 800x600.

3. What is the problem:

There was no such options in the video options menu to lower the resolution. By default it was 1024x768. I changed it manually, in the preferences.txt (both: vanilla and EB one). When I started the game, it did not change it's resolution to 800x600, and in the video menu there was only battle resolution changed to 800x600. I went back to preferences txt and it turned out, that something restored the strategy map resolution back to 1024x768. I can change it as many times I want, but it always get back to 1024x768.

4. Question:

What should I do?

Did you install RTW and EB under the "Program Files" directory?

Did you install RTW and EB under the "Program Files" directory?

No, not at all, I know the problems linked with installing the game under the "PF" on Vista. I have it on another partition.

EDIT: OK, this is no longer the problem. I reinstalled the system, and the drivers, and my EB runs much faster. So I don't have to lower the resolution. I still don't know, why the battle resolution can be at 800x600, and the strategy map resolution only at 1024x768. But that's not the issue anymore.
