One way to find these is using dxdiag.

Moving this back to the Helpline for now. Please post the logs in your Allegiance directory (you can wrap them in

Code: Select all

...
blocks) and determine the graphics card using notjarvis' tips.

Also, can you neither increase nor decrease the resolution? Which one have you tried? What's the resolution you want to have? Does your graphics card support it on the desktop?

ProbeMonkey is correct, your resolution changes only in-game.
To use non-standard resolution, please follow those instructions.

Please report back, even if it works fine for you!
