Thanks guys,

I'm running it at 1400x1050 with the res fix, have gfx card set up not to auto-scale to fit the 1680x1050 monitor. I have to use a third party app to force a change in desktop res while the game is running (my ATI card won't accept the scaling options while the desktop is set to the monitor's preferred res) but it works. Runs in fullscreen with black bars down the side.

Don't know how high anyone else has been able to get their game res with that mod while trying to run "fullscreen" and still keep the native 4:3 ratio.

There are some widescreen mods out there, altho they don't necessarily work for everyone - seems to depend on what gfx card you have and what your monitor's preferred res is. But poke around in the relevant forums and you may find something that works for you.

And welcome aboard!
