Default Is there a way to run DW wide-screen or higher rez?

I've done a cursory search of the net and so far the one option I found (from 2009) was only for Win XP and didn't work for most people.

Any suggestions or info would be very appreciated

I haven't fired up DW for a little while, but if I rember rightly you can change the resolution somewhere under options. Not sure if this can cope with widescreen resolutions though.

1280x1024 is the max that I managed to get it to play with. You could try to increase the .ModeID value manually in the text file DangerousWaters.ini

I couldn't get it passed 3. 4 would make it revert back to modeID 1, which is 800x600.

Windowed mode requires Windows to use 16bit color mode. And that is too much of a nuissance for me. Also, it doesn't seem to allow for higher resolutions.

That's about what I thought. Thanks for letting me know so I can stop looking

Sorry for necro'ing, but I've managed to get the resolution up to 1600x1200, just so y'all out there know.
