If you are running the Windows version (as I think you are implying) then you need to run the "TTConfig" program. Somewhere in there you can configure it to either run in-a-window or full screen. If you set it to full screen you will get it at 640x480 full screen this is usually the best you will get. When it is in-a-window you unfortunately cannot maximise it as the graphics are fixed at 640x480. Some versions of the patch have an option to change the in-a-window resolution, but it does it by streching it, so it does not really look all that good. > The reason that I asked my initial question was that I am interested in the > OpenTTD game and it needs the windows disc.

If you've got the Windows version running then you should be ok, as the files on the CD will probably be in your install folder as well. -- Tom Cumming New to this newsgroup?
