Rome Total War Video Resolution Problem

Ok so I just installed this game for like the 3rd time & each time I have a problem where by I cant select a resolution 1280x1024. The option is isn't there!!!!.

I installed the game on my 2nd rig which has a crap 9600 256mg card and there's loads of resolution choices (more than on my main rig) including 1280x1024 and it allows me to select it.

I've tried different drivers and it doesn't change anything, anyone else got any ideas. Specs are as in my sig, drivers currently installed are 66.81

Cheers

Jim

    yes there is, thats what the map resolution is set to on my second rig, i.e. my normal desktop resolution, after trying another set of drivers I couldn't even set it 1024x768x32. It kept saying video mode not supported, i could only set it 1024x768x16 :scratch:

    I don't have that resolution, I know... I was very pissed when I didn't see it.

    Right, I've got the fix for this for those of you who like me don't have all the video options & resolutions you want.

    Got to this page & it tell you which file to modify. I've got the resolution I desire, I've now just got to convince my PC that it'll work. This is a very stupid way for the game to behave, taking control away from the user is just wrong!!!

    Problems all sorted, if anyone would like me to email them the file I modded so that you now have all the graphics options then drop me a pm.
