it worked with me, but instead of putting 2560, i suggest putting your computer maximum number, mine was 4650, you can see what your computer number is when you first open the box there will be a grayed out number in there, put that instead.
I have Vista and a GTX 280...my max number is close to 4000, but still can't change the resolution. ah well.

JoJoSan, can you forgive me?
Try other values such as 2000. The change is reversible and won't cause any harm. I've actually tried as low as 128 under Windows XP, but I wouldn't recommend anything lower than about 1000 for Vista/7.
Ok! I'll try...thanks!

your fix for the resolution is awesome. Thank you so much.Once again, the fine folks at the Org. come through again.
My system has 6GB of RAM and ATI Radeon HD 550V with 1 GB VRAM. STW/MTW only takes numbers from 2048 to 2560. It worked for STW/MTW, but doesn't help with other games. With 2.5GB of RAM enable, system will only have about 0.7 to 1 GB available. Luckily, the change and reboot is fast enough.
I probably have to go ahead with rebuild a dedicated system for old games. I recently bought a brand new socket 478 MB for only $40. I still have a couple P4s 2.8-3GB, some good ram, a few AGP video cards ranging from MX440 to 7800gt, plenty of HD and CD/DVD drives, even a floppy drive.
New member Sepheus has written a small DirectDraw wrapper that returns 2GB on system calls for memory size, download link and discussion can be found here. It's a cleaner fix that works for MTW, and might work for STW as well. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes.
