Same for me. I tried the latest hi res mod but the intro/options screens, nav map and attack map ran in a smallish window, about 1/3 of the lower left corner of the screen, while anything that was a camera view used the entire screen, 1680 x 1050. I removed it.

Yep
I think Paul Riley is referring to this.

It's what I use.
No bat files needed.
Just drop in a dll and cfg file into your directory, edit the cfg to your resolution and you're good to go.

Same one I use, works like a charm under Win7/x64.

Initially (on Windows 7 34 bit) I could run the game only on its native resolution. After I've applied the high resolution fix I'm running it at 1680x1050 in full screen without any black areas or strange shaped objects.

in need of advice!

my 19'' LG (WXGA+) has an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a native resolution of 1440x900
when I install the res-fix mod everything's fine and looks great. but one big problem persists I've found no solution yet: can't simply return to desktop when game is paused.
neither alt+tab nor windows-button nor alt+esc works. I'm stuck within the game itself.
some minor issues are the slightly stretched dials and the blurred PG-markings.

anyone knows of solutions??

I use my HDMI port to use my 46" for a screen.
The only problems I have are that I lose about 1-2cm on the left and right sides.
No problems though, I just use the +- keys for time compression anyway
