Thanks for your reply U-15, I appreciate it.

I only ever play the game in full-screen mode, so I thought after reading your post that going to Windowed mode might make a difference.

I followed your instructions, changing the resolution in the .cfg file that comes with the patch, and then changing the screen resolution to 1024x768. Then I ran SH3 Commander and launched SH3. In windowed mode it only takes up approx. 50% of my screen, maybe less.

I then went to the desktop and changed the resolution back to 1600x1200. Back in SH3, the windowed mode now takes up the full screen. Is that what you get too?

However, I don't know if it's actually 1600x1200 or just the monitor displaying 1024x768 full screen (if that makes sense). For example, if I play the game in 1024x768 in full screen mode, without any HiRes patches, it looks the exact same as the windowed mode after changing to 1600x1200 following your instructions.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't know what the game should look like in 1600x1200, even in the main menu, so I've no idea how to do whether I have it right or not, or whether I just have 1024x768 taking up the full screen. Could you possibly take a screenshot of your main menu in HiRes and post it, so I can compare?

Thanks again...
