Blank screen only on my projects [SOLVED]

SOLVED: My resolution settings were messed up.
Hi, I've been following the Whackamole tutorial and also the Fish Demo tutorial, and when pressing Run, all I get is a white screen.
I finished part 1 of the whackamole tut, press Run and I get a blank screen.
I finished up to
part 2 of the fish demo
Opening and running included examples work.

Torque 2D 1.7.5 (first time install, not updated from previous version)

I'm getting a similar blank screen. Looking at the log I get the following.
Loading compiled script /Users/Jez/MyGames/MyFishDemo&rdquo/game/gameScripts/game.cs.
game/gameScripts/game.cs (21): Unable to find function enableJoystick
Error loading level fishyLevel2.t2d. Invalid file.
The file loads fine into the builder. I've tried saving it out as a different name too, but that didn't help at all.
Any suggestions?

Hello. I'm a complete noob, and I'm just starting on the fish example...I'm getting a similar blank screen. Looking at the log I get the following.

EDIT: BTW Torque installs to a folder called "TorqueGameBuilder1.7.5", dots included. Is that the default behavior? I find it odd because if there's an update, it makes one think that it will install to a different folder: e.g. 1.7.6, and so on.
EDIT2: Here's the console.log
BTW I uninstalled TGB2D, reinstalled it (again it installed itself to TorqueGameBuilder1.7.5, I removed the 1.7.5 part), run the Whackamole tutorial and again no luck.
I removed some "loading" with no error to make it fit into this post.

@Jeremy - Your problem is shown in this line:
The engine cannot find your level file, or is trying to load the wrong one
@Genaro - Your problem is much odder and critical:
1024x600768? Check your files and preferences to make sure the right resolution is being used.

Thanks.

I'd like to add that this has in part been caused by this annoyance with the software: For example in the Whackamole example, when you add a variable (dynamic fields), you click on the textarea and EXPECT that this temporary text will dissapear the moment you (single) click the textbox. Having to click and then double click causes some hesitant/annoyance, since this is kind of an unexpected behavior.Thanks.
