Maybe your video card is incompatible for some reason. > Again I am not sure why but it seems to be > my graphics card or the way that windows has been set up on this machine. > What you say about the resolution makes sense if I am trying to get the game > to run in 1024X768 mode and the maximum and best size is 640x480. 640x480 is the *only* resolution that TTD can run in. Remember this game came out in the mid-1990s, when 640x480 was about all that most monitors could handle! The only thing you can change is whether it runs in full screen, or whether it runs in a window. However, OpenTTD is different. You *can* run open TTD in various different resolutions. -- Tom Cumming New to this newsgroup? Please have a read of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list at <http://www.tt-forums.net/faq/>.
