I have another stupid question, because, uh, I'm stupid. I have put the -superhires behind the path to .exe thing, and the .PLR file is not read only, but when I start the game it has the option for 800x600 - no apparent opportunity to select the higher resolutions. Do I need to type in a command line or something after the game starts, etc.? Any info would be greatly appreciated. vic "matt" <urzsaserra@cox.net> wrote in message news:3iqac.12081$Rh.3540@fed1read05... > > "Victor Lovejoy" <vlovejoy@hsonline.net> wrote in message > news:106jetnaimqhe48@corp.supernews.com... > > I have winme, and when I right-click on the shortcut I don't get the menu > > that says 'path to .exe'... > > I am sorry i meant the line that looks something like this > > Target "D:\DESCENT2\DESCENT2.EXE" -superhires > > That should be like what you see when you right click on the shortcut and > select properties. > > > > How would I enable superhires in win me? > > > > I can get 800x600 but after running descent 3 in 1600x1200 it is very > > blocky. > > > > vic > > "matt" <urzsaserra@cox.net> wrote in message > > news:1gK8c.5087$Rh.3034@fed1read05... > > > > > > <bbobb@bobcom.com> wrote in message > > > news:jiu560pfeh3n29s53feol8ruokee4cgpgk@4ax.com... > > > > How can I enable this? > > > > I've found this: > > > > > > > > Command Line Parameters > > > > -superhires Enables 1024x768 and 1280x1024 resolutions > > > > > > > > But where is the command line for descent2 win95 version? > > > > > > You would right click on the shortcut and add the -superhires after the > > > quotes on the target line like this > > > > > > "path to .exe" -superhires > > > > > > I dont think it works though. > > > > > > > TIA > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
