Problem with Descent 2
This is a discussion about Problem with Descent 2 in the Windows Games category; I'm having this problem with Descent 2 whereby whenever I go to play regardless of what resolution I choose (I want to be able to play in 640x480 but the problem occurs on the other 2 as well) it always defaults to 320x240.
I'm having this problem with Descent 2 whereby whenever I go to play regardless of what resolution I choose (I want to be able to play in 640x480 but the problem occurs on the other 2 as well) it always defaults to 320x240. I tried installing as per Win2k and the same thing happened. I know that 640x480 works under NT since it worked under 2k. Does anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?

OP
I've solved the problem. The trick was to run it in Win95 Compatibility mode, set the resolution and then turn of the compatibility mode. Now the question is why did it screw up in the first place when it worked fine under Win2k? I'm starting to suspect DirectX 8.1 since thats the only major thing that differed between my installations of Win2k and WinXP but does anyone else have any better ideas?
