Hi, I'm back for a campaign after a long absence.

I'm having the 'can't initialize 3d engine' issue. Windows 7(x64).

I have a dual monitor setup, 2 x 22inch @ 1680x1050 @ 59Hz. (I only want to run on one monitor)

I'm aware that the fix is setting resolution between 60-75 Hz, but my monitor keeps resetting to 59Hz. So this will NOT work for me.

If i reduce my resolution in widows to 1440x900 @75Hz the game loads. But this is far from ideal.

Ideally i'd like to apply the widescreen fix and run the game at 1680x1050 in windowed mode. Does anyone know how i can achieve this?

I've tried editing the main.cfg file, but this seems to have no affect upon resolution and windowed or not.

Any guidance or help in this area would appreciated. Maybe there is another approach to this..?

Cheers
