Vista + TGB 1.7.4 Help Needed

by butsam · in General Discussion · 12/14/2008 (12:27 pm) · 2 replies

I have TGB 1.7.4 on Vista installed on a widescreen laptop. My typical resolution is 1440x900, but when I launch TGB 1.7.4 it launches in full-screen mode and changes the resolution to something much lower (possibly as low as 800x600?), not widescreen, and when I create a new project, the resolution is horrendous and I can't even see the menu bar to change anything!

Please help! I need some way to either change the resolution used by TGB 1.7.4, or to force TGB 1.7.4 to launch in Windowed mode.

Thanks,

Sam

    You should be able to change the prefs manually in C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\GarageGames\TorqueGameBuilder. The editor settings are in levelEditorPrefs.cs. You can also change the WindowRes in commonPrefs.cs.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I'm not sure what Vista is doing right now, but for some reason it still doesn't work right. I found the option for Windowed mode, but Vista still wants to change the resolution? Strange.

    I could not find where the Window Resolution is though, I am in the TorqueGameBuilder-1.7.4/ folders, and I don't see anything that looks like screen resolution settings?
