I assume we're talking about C&C:Generals, here? In that case, go to your My Documents folder and look for a folder called "Command & Conquer Generals Data". Open up Options.ini in a text editor (like notepad). You'll see a pair of line like so: Resolution = 1600 960 Simply change that line to whatever you want the resolution to actually be, e.g. 1024x768 would be: Resolution = 1024 768 -- Tim "HeXetic" G. www.planetcnc.com
