lo all

i d/l the resolution fix and ran it

seems im still at default.
i wanted to go to 1024x800...so set my screen, main cfg. file ,and also the file in my docs.

where exactly do you extract the 2 files to??

anyone had similar prob?

Just drop them into the main directory ( where the SH3exe is).

Hope that works ok!

Hi,

With the reso fix, you should have a file called "d3d9.cfg" ( in your SH3 main directory) ; Open it with notepad and search the lines :

resX=XXXX
resY=XXXX

Replace the XXXX with the resolution you want, and that's it. Should work.

Thanks for the speedy correction, Marko

Had the weird idea that 1024x800 was standard res for the d3d9.cfg file

As you seem to know a fair bit about this mod, maybe you could advise me how you task switch out. Before applying it , I could use Ctrl+Esc....now I can't get out with that, or Alt+Tab. Even Ctrl,Esc + Del throws a fit when I try it!!!

Well, i must say that i don't use Alt-tab very offen, so i'm not sure at all about that but :

I remember many users had problems with task switching after using the resfix ..

So i don't know if it's possible to use a workaround ..

Maybe this works only when in interface and not in 3d game .. or something.

I'm sorry, this doesn't help a lot

and i admit this make some time now that i didn't travelled into the seas with SH3 ( maybe the "summer effect" ..), so, nothing 100% sure about those troubles.

U can use cntrl-alt-del and and switch in the taskmanager to a previously launched task or if u have a 2ndairy monitor click there and sh3 minimizes.
