Help needed regarding resolution fix

[Fubar2Niner]

Evenin shipmates,

I have just reinstalled sh3 and patched to 1.4b. My problem is I cannot get the res fix working again, using sartori23's batch files and his MS compat app formula for SP2. I know it works as I've used it in the past, not sure if it's something to do with the latest Netframework updates.... I have tried both MS Application Compatibilty 4.1 and 5.0, same result, res won't shift from 1024x768. I must be doing something wrong but it's been sooooooo long since my last fresh install. Even worked fine with GWX. If any of you chaps have some spare time whilst on shore leave I'd love to hear from you.

Specs:
XP Pro + SP2 + all updates.
SH3 up to 1.4b main.cfg changed to 1600x1200
Asus P5N32-E SLI mobo
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.66
2xGainward Bliss 8800GTX
Drivers Forceware vs 162.18
2G Corsair TwinX Dominator
DX 9.0c (august 2007 rls)
Samsung Syncmaster 214T LCD (Native res 1600x1200)
3x Seagate Barracuda hdd
Nothing Overclocked


Any and all help much appreciated.
Best regards.
