« on: April 01, 2010, 12:41:31 PM »
Hey everyone i just installed BC on my new machine and for some reason it will not exceed 1024x768 resolution.

Here is what i am running on

Toshiba Satellite

4GB Ram
200GB HDD
AMD Turion X2
ATI 3100 integrated
Windows 7 Ultimate

Note: I tried running it in XP/ME Compatibility Mode and no change
All drivers are updated and installed

Where did you install BC? win7, win vista. do not act well if it is installed in Program files, it Has to be run as Adminstrator there, because of the writeing to certain parts of BC.

Best to install to a folder [like Games-or Play STuff]

you need to modify a few files before it will.

You can't go to 1280*1024 because it's too tall to fit to your display. It's the same thing with mine. IF you change the display size to something equal to or greater than 1280*1024, then that mode would be unlocked.
