Hi-Res and/or Dual displays

DiverDan · 10-29-06, 01:01 PM

Ahoy ALL,

I need some guidance on increasing my screen resolution and/or using dual displays. I have a Dell XPS (Gen2) with a bunch of memory and a Nvidia 6800GT. I currently use it a 1024x768 (highest default setting) and am very happy with it, but I would like more screen real estate.

I've read the community manual and followed the instructions for the Compatibilty Program (since I'm using SP2). But upon installation, I cannot find the program, even though a dialog box states it installed correctly. It's not in my START menu.

Eliminating that step and copy the cfg and dll to the SH3 home directory results in an error as soon as the game is started.

I do play Far Cry at 2048 res using two monitors, so I know my system is capable of it. I guess my questions are:

Why can't I find the Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit ?
What needs to be edited in the cfg file?
Can I use one monitor in 2048 mode, or do I need to span the display across two monitors?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
