SHIII widescreen problem

[ReM]

Recently my old IIyama monitor died on me. Had to buy a new screen and got one with a native 1440 x 900 resolution. It shouldn't be a problem playing my beloved SHIII because there is a hi-res fix, right? Wrong. I can still only play at 1024x768 res and the game is still playable, but it looks horrible.

I have tried to install the fix many times, but every time I try to fire up SHIII the game crashes. I have a freshly installed version of GWX 3 with a couple of minor mods installed per SH III Commander, nothing spectacular. I did however install GWX in a copied original folder; i.e. I copied the original folder from one drive to another so that it can be adapted.

My computer runs on XP, SP3 with a 9600 XT with the latest catalyst driver installed. All my other games run perfect.

This is what happens:

My Sh III folder:



the mod: it goes into the SH III folder, the rez fix batch file is clicked.



This is the result:





Any ideas? I have searched in other treads, but I could't find anything similar.

Help would be much appreciated.....

Thanks
