    Default Anyway to play (M:TW and S:TW) at 1920x1200

    So I've had STW and MTW since they were released but never got into them since I was young and the games were far too complicated. Now that I've played the rest of the TW series and I'm older, I wanted to try out the original two games. But I can only play in 800x600. Now I'm not a graphics whore but I can barely even tell what's going on at that res.

    Is there anyway to bump up the resolution to 1920x1200 or even something like 1600x1200? I tried googling but I only got results for S2TW.

    Edited (Brusilov): Added game names in the thread title....

    There was once a thread suggesting to reduce the RAM in the system control to only 2GB.
    This worked quite well when using my old laptop.

    Don't know whether any other solutions exist. Have a new one know and want to play more modern games also. I now have to stick with the 800x600 at the campaign map - and even less on the battlemap with 640x480.

    Hmm, oh well. I am fine with the old graphics but these resolutions make it hard to even see what I'm doing.

    In case you are interested I found the thread about reducing the memory:

    That is the max resolution as far as I know... Both for STW1 and MTW1...

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    I'm running it on exactly 1920 x 1200 - win7 hd6870.

    It looks great but the camera movement is not the same anymore like on my older
    pc on 1280 x 1024 - it just behaves strange when trying to move or turn around
    the screen using the mouse to do it now on 1920 x 1200.


    :edit - sorry - must have been tired when posting this - didn't see the m:tw and s:tw
    in the title and thought we talkin about rtw.

    ::re-edit - hmm ok - not been tired - just noticed that the titles got edited
    after i made my post
