Hi,
Initially the game didnt want to start at all. So after a bit searching i found some mention here about changing the pref.ini.
I put in the resolution my pc used, but still it didnt work.
Then i put it fullscreen off and now the game seems to run fine on half the screen. Every time i go to fullscreen ti no longer starts up. Ic the resolutions changing and then it quits with the message that it stopped working.
Any ideas to solve this please.
