screen resolution / woi crash

[fougamagister 24]

Hi everyone

 

I have 2 issues, so I hope you guys can help me.

 

1st: I saw that a lot of users make great screenshots in high resolution. But I can't ! I bought a new laptop few months ago, it's a Asus F7 L series 17". Here my configuration:

- CPU: DUO T2370 1.73 Ghz,

- memory:2Gb, I run XP sp3,

- the graphic card is an Intel 935 Express Chipset Family and then my screen's resolution is 1440x900 pixels.

I use to run WOE at 1024x768x32. This is the only resolution wich doesn't deform the image, but the quality is quite low. Is there a way to increase it (from the game or from my computer) ? or is it just a lack of power from my laptop ? .. s**t I feel like a newbie :]

 

2nd: I have WOI (patched) but don't use it often because that beauty loves freezing my computer ! The strange thing is that the game works good with the graphic settings set to "high".. I tried to play with "medium" settings but the game still crashes, freezes my computer and I always have to finger-reboot it .

So you can understand that it upsets me a bit !

 

Your help is welcome buddies ;)

1) There is a option in the graphics menu to enable widescreen support in 16:9 or 16:10 (which I believe you need). And unfortunately, from what I've heard, integrated video chipsets don't tend to run the TW series very well.

 

2) Not sure what the issue is...

Yes I think so too, I've tried it but it only deformed the screen .. I read that those chipsets are quite bad, anyway thanx for you help.

2. Are you using Vista? - have you installed the latest Direct X 9?

Laptops equiped with such video chipsets are really not up to it when it comes to flight sims...

 

Even the basic resizing function doesn't work properly...

 

Sorry to say, but no real way out here

 

I just bought a smaller Asus laptop (15.4" screen) with a real (although low end) video card onboard, it's really night and day with the previous one ...

 

Even under Vista with a low spec dual core cpu, the game runs just nice at high settings at the native resolution...

- No, I'm running XP but it's a special installation, a combo Vista / XP (official not cracked).. Vista was installed but I was able to switch to XP instead. And yes the last version of Directx is installed.. I guess :]

- Ok you confirm something that I realized, It doesn't matter !

 

Thank you all guys
