Please hear this guys. I decide to start a new thread here about I think is a very important issue and that is communication.

First and foremost, I didnt appreciate the comments that were made in my "anger" string, when all I was really asking for was help on my monitor/resolution issue.

You guys are quick to judge..if it was your situation like mine then you would be irked.

Yet some of you indicated that a few mouse clicks and then boom I fixed.

Well then tell me step by step what I can do.

I mentioned so many times...I have a high end computer but never did I have to adjust screen sizes and such. If I did want to change resolutions (some games offer you do do that within the game) it wouldnt effect my desktop or the rest of my computer. I wouldnt have to reboot my computer.

That being said many have you suggested to make some adjustments. Well what are these adjustments, to my desktop and such.

This game, and it is a good game, is not a game like Star Trek, Warcraft, EA games which demand alot of your system. These games you need the all the computer you can get but you dont have to manuever the game screen the play the game like this one.

This is why next, I point to the developers of not informing your public that many of you would either have to come up with different monitors or adjust your monitors, computer settings accordingly to play this game.

I took it for granted that the menu screens would fit perfectly within the confines of the screen like all the games that I own.

I dont understand why a game like this could not be developed with another resolution or give you choices on what resolutions to use in the options of the game.

This is not a bashing string here. This is a string to point out the fact, like many, we eagerly waited and waited for this game. You got to understand my immediate frustation and anger when I couldnt even keep the game within the confines of my screen. My anger now is changing over to just plain disapppoint.

If someone really wants to help me, albeit the developers or other games on how to remedy the situation (not bash me with your b.s. remarks), that is great.

I dont really want to return (unless I have no choice) the game because Jim and Tom and company have put alot into the game but if you cant see the screen well or your limited to playing on one resolution then something is wrong. I didnt have any problem with Title Bout 2001. I even play alot of sim based games like this (SOM, Cactus, etc) and I dont have to adjust their screens. So how come I need to do it with this?

Anyway enough said.

If someone wants to step forward and really, really help thanks.

Again here is my specs:

15" inch CRT monitor

128 bit Nividia Geforce TI400 card

2.2. Pentium 4 cpu processor

750 Ram

I can set my pixels to any setting but text, icons, etc become small at the higher resolutions.

I use 16 or 32 bit color within my settings.

Hope that gives you enough info about my computer.

Personal note to Jim:

Hope you get better and get some rest.
