Default Using ultrawide screen monitor 3440x1440

Decided to install winSPMBT on my new Windows 10 computers with a beautiful 34" Alienware 3440x1440 monitor.

Every time I try to start the game using "full screen" at desktop resolution or any other resolution, it crashes with "SAL error" message and reference to the display driver. "Directdraw could not be initialized."

I can start it in Window mode 1600x1280, but the font is extremely small and blurry. 1280x1020, the font is a clearer but still very small.1024x768 about the same.

What is recommended way to handle this? Should I just manually change the monitor itself to 1920x1080?

Does Windows scaling setting make any difference?
