Resolution change problem

Hi, I am having a problem with the sh3 resolution change as described in the community manual. I have had it work for me several times in the past. I only got it to work flawlessly once on my computer. On another computer it worked but caused a bug which made the game crash whenever an officer was moved.

A while ago I formatted and have lately the urge to play sh3 again. Only now the resolution change will not work at all. The game will not load with it. I mean, it plays the first 2 movies but then just a black screen and no loading.

I have looked around for a while and I am sick of this so before I give up I will ask for help here. Just so you know I tried searching but saw nothing about people having trouble with the d3d9.dll file.

I really hope somebody has a suggestion or two for me because I just can't stand playing with 1024x768 stretched to fit my 21 inch widescreen monitor.

And just to let you know...
I have followed the instructions in the community manual. I have tried with a fresh install (1.0) and with the latest patch. I have windows xp with sp2 and I am using the latest drivers for my ati x800xl card (6.7 I believe).

edit! I tried different search terms and found a thread about this. Didnt read it yet but I hope it can help me. sorry about this.
