I'm running on my old monitor until I can get a new one. The other one is broken. But it's top resolution is 800x600! Argh!!

I want to play Emperor-Battle for Dune again. But it's set at a higher resulution than this #"¤!"#¤¤%¤ monitor can handle! All I see is a shimmering fuzz. Does anyone know a way to change the resolution of this game externally?

Does anyone know where Westwood's site is these days? I just get to EA, and they only talk about C&C.

Edit:

Naturally I've tried to google for a direct solution, and possible command lines switches, and for everything but God and his agony aunt. No luck though. :/

They SAID that given enough time a million monkeys with typewriters could recreate the collected works of William Shakespeare... Internet sure proved them wrong.

Sneaky buggers... Why can't software companies put configuration data in easy identifiable places in the registry? Now, Lee Bamber hides importand data, but configuration data shouldn't be hidden.

Grrrr!

No. It was configured to start at a higher resolution than the standard one from the first game startup. That new setup was saved in the registry. You know, the game starts, the game looks for configurations, and finds it. And hey, this DX-screen that I open should be set at 1280x720 instead of the standard windows screen resolution. And so on.

And that little gem was hidden in the registry, and not in a configuration file. Sneaky buggers...
