Screen Resolution fix for Windows 7

Thanks. it says that this is for Xp SP2....does it work on windows 7?

Windows 7 has the ability to run programs in compatiblity modes. Just right click the exacutable for the agme and click the compatiblity mode tab. You may have to check the box that says to run it in a compatiblity mode first and then select the windows xp service pack two mode and everything should work just fine.

That said, I don't use that mod my self so I don't know what will hapen exactly.

My game rig is currently running WIN7 Pro 64 and I'm able to use the "XP SP2" ResFIX just fine!

No need to use "Compatability Mode" - She's running smooth as silk at 1440x900

cool...any chance of a screenshot?

Actually I'd love too... but for some damn reason CTRL-F11 isn't working to take a screenie (probably a MOD that I installed) and I just tried FRAPS and that's just causing CTD's...

So I don't have a clue at the moment

By the way, that fix doesn't work for me no matter what.

Windows 7 64bit, ati radeon 4730... it launches and I get a "loading icon" for infinite time, I have to run task manager and kill the process, no image at all just black screen.

Nevermind - I finally got FRAPS to take a couple of pictures (still can't get CTRL-F11 to work though

)

Anyways here's a couple of screenies at 1440x900 with 2xAA and 2xAF

Yeah - Realize that now...

Anyone know why hitting PrtScr to take a screenie would cause SH3 to CTD?
