I am running Win2K on a PIII 600Mhz. Using the patched version of wow.exe (I didn't need to rename it to wowstart.exe as someone previously suggested) I could only run at 640x480 (but at least it ran). I found a fix so that I can run at 1024x768. This involves editing the registry. In the following section : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Rage\Jeff Wayne's 'The War Of The Worlds'\1.00.000\Screen I changed the 'Size' and 'Support screen size' from 640,480 to 1024,768. This seems to work, although the lower res intro and menu screens look a little odd stuck up in the top left corner (i.e. the screen resolution is set to 1024x768 but these windows are designed at 640x480 so other than looking a bit small they are exactly the same as the old ones). I am probably going to have a bit of a fiddle to see if I can get the screen to change in the way it should do (i.e. using the settings in the game without getting the DirectDraw errors), but at present I am happy running like this as I don't really want to chenge resolution once I am happy with the setting (I am probably going to try the 1280x1024 next as this is my current working resolution).
