resolution is messed up

[ripken204]

whenever i run wpi it will change my screen's resolution to 1280x768 no matter what. in options i told it to be 1024x800. well, wpi is now 1024x800 but it still changes the screens resolution to 1280x768.

[ripken204]

fixed it, had to edit the wpi.cmd file. VideoChanger.exe is what was doing it.

Is there any way for WPI to use the resolution that is currently being used by the computer ?

Ive taken out the videochanger line in the wpi.cmd but it still always defaults to 1024x768 even on computers that are 1280x1024. Annoying having to change the resolution back and organise all the icons properly.

[possy_99]

have you tried going into the options and changing the resolution option to 'By System (default)' ?

hey,

yep its set to 800x600 but it always defaults to 1024x768.

So on a screen with 1024x768 resolution it doesnt run in a window mode.

If i use WPI on a screen that is 1280x1024 is changes it to 1024x768.

weird huh...

Can i see the contents of your wpi.cmd file?? Open it with notepad.
