SEV Monitor Resolution

But it is the vertical rez that is too small, not the horizontal.

I would expect it to work just fine, if it could accept the numbers.

I tried SEV on a Flybook (1024x600 resolution, ATI Radeon 200M chipset) and it would only show a grey screen (though the background music started, suggesting that the program was otherwise OK).

I'm trying to play SEIV on my UMPC and it keeps wanting to play with a screen resolution of 1024x768. There's only one problem with this, my UMPC's screen resolution is 1024x600. Is there any way to force the game to play at that resolution? Also how do I get the game to play at 800x600 other than changing my resolution?

SE4 should automatically open to 8x6 or 1024x768, whichever is the largest without exceeding your desktop rez.

Is the desktop larger than the visible area, such that you can scroll the view around a bit and possibly confuse the game?

What about running a batch file to set the screen rez down to 8x6 just long enough for SE4 to start, then going back up to 1024x600?
The windowedSE4 tool has an addon for win9x systems that uses that trick to erase the black border properly.

So if I understand correctly SEIV doesn't have a way to change the resolution manually, I would have to get the windowedSE4 tool to be able to play at a resolution other than stock.

A quick question for my own clarification: you guys do know that UMPC stands for Ultra Mobile PC and that most of these computers use Vista for an os? My UMPC weighs about twice what a psp does with a screen that's a little larger. I really enjoy being able to play alot of my strat. games on the go.

You wouldn't need the tool, but it comes in very handy what with the removal of the black border, and the draggable dialog boxes.

I'm just saying that the 9x version of the tool uses the trick of changing rez, starting SE4, then changing rez back to the original setting once SE4 has decided what size to be.

I changed my resolution to 8x6. started the game, then changed the resolution back to 1024x600 and the game stays at 8x6. I just wish there was a way to display the game at 1024x600.
