Hello all

I have just bought and installed DOW and WA.

I have a laptop with a 256 mb 7800GTX go card.

When i first installed DOW version 1.0 it worked perfectly at any resolution up to my native 1440x900. However when i installed WA, which also patched DOW up to 1.4, I cannot run the game correctly at any resolution above 1024x768. At any higher resolution the screen is "squashed" and black bars appear either side. This happens in both DOW and WA.

I have got the latest official driver from nVidia and also the latest patch 1.41? The problem remains, but all my other applications/games work fine at higher resolutions.

I have checked out local.ini and the settings seem correct ie 1440x900 and non windowed.

As i said this only started happening after patch 1.4 was applied, has anyone heard of this or has something i can try.

I am only annoyed because its a great game and i want to be able to run it at this clearer native resolutiion.

thanks in advance.
