5:4 (1280x1024) is the only resolution the game recognizes; others are not. Ideally, in this resolution, it fits with a small margin on both a 16:10 monitor (1680x1050) and a 16:9 monitor (1920x1080), but the "Full Screen" option is automatically checked, and the game stretches to fill the width. Is there a small margin between the game window and the screen? I didn't have a 1400x1050 (4:3) monitor to test this, but I didn't have this problem at all with a 1600x1200 monitor. I think this is related to some simplification of the screen matrix. When widescreen monitors started to become popular and were touted as being more user-friendly, they were blatantly lying – in reality, it was more convenient for the manufacturing technology. A wide monitor is good for watching movies, but not for working with documents or anything similar.
When I first bought the game, the gold edition, I had a Phillips QVGA monitor, and I had a resolution of 640x480 in the settings. The same disc, the same game, but a different monitor – that resolution wasn't available. So, there are hidden settings in the game – but how to enable them, who knows:smile21:
