Mine only goes down to 800 by 600, and when I start it I see parts of the screen just blurred out since it doesn't fit right. Then I change the options as mentioned above, and its all fine.
Right click on your desktop, and then alter the display to be as low as can go, and try again.
If that doesn't work, then you have to find the .cs that handles starting screensize, and alter it, so it starts as something else.
I'll go see if I can do that now for you. I'm thinking since it saves my options, I just have to alter it once, then exit, and then use Windows search to see which file is newest, it the one having been changed, and thus that the one you need to alter. BRB

Can you graphics board not handle that screen size at all?Mine only goes down to 800 by 600, and when I start it I see parts of the screen just blurred out since it doesn't fit right. Then I change the options as mentioned above, and its all fine.

Remember, you may need to delete that .dso file before running it, since it only runs whats in the .dso, and the .dso's only get created when there isn't one there already. So delete it, run the script, it'll make a new .dso.
There are other pref.cs files, but only two of them have the screen resolution settings.
The other one is at G:\Torque\RTSStarterKit\example\starter.RTS\client\pref.cs

When you hit reload/refresh, it post your last post again. Strange forum bug. Just delete your duplicate copy of your previous post.
If this doesn't work let me know, and I search for the settings elsewhere. There were a dozen files updated when I changed my screensize, so other possibilities exist. Its probably just the settings in those two files that matter though.

Edit the file G:\Torque\RTSStarterKit\example\common\client\prefs.csQuote:
$pref::Video::defaultsRenderer = "RADEON 9800 XT x86/SSE2";
$pref::Video::defaultsVendor = "ATI Technologies Inc.";
$pref::Video::deleteContext = "1";
$pref::Video::disableVerticalSync = 1;
$pref::Video::displayDevice = "OpenGL";
$pref::Video::fullScreen = "1";
$pref::Video::monitorNum = 0;
$pref::Video::only16 = "0";
$pref::Video::preferOpenGL = "1";
$pref::Video::profiledRenderer = "RADEON 9800 XT x86/SSE2";
$pref::Video::profiledVendor = "ATI Technologies Inc.";
$pref::Video::resolution = "1280 1024 16";
$pref::Video::safeModeOn = "1";
$pref::Video::screenShotFormat = "PNG";

I don't think anyone has gotten sound to work with this yet.
This is my entire console.log file.
I edited my previous post to mention there are two files you need to edit.

I get that same message, and it still runs for me.I don't think anyone has gotten sound to work with this yet.

You install it, and nothing else over it, no player mods or whatnot, and it won't run.
What type of graphics board do you have? Do you have a duel core processor? If so, update all of your drivers.
Anything running in the background that would cause problems? Any necessary Windows XP components that you turned off to speed things up?

Can you run the FPS demo with just regular Torque?You install it, and nothing else over it, no player mods or whatnot, and it won't run.

Correct me if im worng but it may break when it cannot find an audio profile try commenting it out or renaming both audioprofiles.cs or somthing. I dont think that there is an audio startup in the starter.rts project.

really terrible support from them!!!

Why does nobody from the garagegame answer to my emails??really terrible support from them!!!

And its not AudioStartup, since we all have that problem. Its a bug from Torque 1.3 I believe... or it may still exist in 1.4. Torque 1.5 says it'll fix the sound problems, but I'm not certain if it includes that or not.
Notice they have at the top a button that says Support? It list every product they have, except the RTS Starter Kit.
----
I googled your system and it says it gives you "Simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit computing". Maybe there is something there causing problems. Search the forums for anything to do with 64 bit, and see if anyone else has a problem with anything. If regular Torque works though, then the RTS kit should. Or perhaps since regular Torque is 1.4, it has a fix that the 1.3 that came with the RTS Starter Kit desperately needs to run with a 64 bit system.

Email every single member of the staff, reporting your problem, and post on the general forum as well, since they usually ignore the RTS Starter Kit forum room.And its not AudioStartup, since we all have that problem. Its a bug from Torque 1.3 I believe... or it may still exist in 1.4. Torque 1.5 says it'll fix the sound problems, but I'm not certain if it includes that or not.

I dont have a 64 bit system. i use win xp 32 bit.. and you are right.. in the support menu is every product listened except the starter kit..if they dont answer my i just cancel the credit card debiting... i dont pay for stuff that doesnt work...
#18
hope, that 1.5 will be available soon ;)
10/24/2006 (10:43 am)
Good advice... i contaced some of them.. lets wait and see what happens ;)hope, that 1.5 will be available soon ;)
#19
So even the list of bug fixes that the 1.5 page list it fixes, won't matter to those using the RTS Starter Kit. :(
10/24/2006 (4:04 pm)
Remember, they refuse to state they will definately update the RTS Starter Kit to run with Torque 1.5. They had two years to get it updated to 1.4, but didn't do it.So even the list of bug fixes that the 1.5 page list it fixes, won't matter to those using the RTS Starter Kit. :(

You can click options, and then click "full screen" and then see what new screen sizes appear, them not listed before you click that. That way you can get it to fit your screen properly.
Try that, and post back if it works or not.
You aren't out of space on that hard drive are you? Thats the only other thing I can think of.
