Forcing WS resolution on non-WS monitor - is it a VBT?

KoW - you mean I should lower the resolution instead? I think I've tried that, but it failed.
You tried the instructions as outlined in the TS2 'readme' that I quoted?
I would assume that the resolution would definitely have to be lower than the overall monitor resolution, otherwise you would not be able to see the whole game in the window. I could be wrong, but I don't see how Windows or TS2 would automatically scale the game to fit in your window. Maybe someone who uses windowed mode can give you an idea of a good resolution to use?
Annan:
Yes, I did yesterday, and tried it first with 1024x768 since PlaidSquirrel said that had solved it for her, and then on a widescreen setting that, like Pes said, did nothing. That's why I assumed I'd have to tinker with the game itself somehow, but I guess I wasn't clear on that in my OP.
I have tried to change to lower graphics settings in the in-game menu, but it didn't work. I'm beginning to think I'm SOL.
J. M. Pescado:
If you are running it Windowed, the resolution must necessarily be smaller than your desktop resolution is, or it overhang the edges of your desktop and not be visible.
Argon:
Resolutions below 768 vertical height will break up the game menus into the expanding junk. Since the native resolution on your monitor is 1024x768, you'd have to reduce the vertical resolution. Thus, the stupid broken up menus.
There's no way around it, short of buying a new monitor. There is no magic setting that will avoid this, I tried using a lower resolution on my 16:10 (normal wide screen for pcs, real widescreen is 16:9) laptop and it broke up all the menus. Luckily my native resolution is 1440x900 on my laptop and 1680x1050 on my desktop so it's not an issue.
Annan:
Hm. From what I gather though, 1024x768 is a pretty common native resolution, which would mean that this is a very common problem - but I've pretty much only heard about it from two people before. Does everyone else just (wo)man up and bear it?
