Screen To Small?!

BigBambino · 10-10-2009, 12:38 AM

I use the new Verizone Wireless Net Book. It's a smaller then normal Lap Top, for those not familure with it, but certainly the screen isn't too small. (about 7x12)

I downloaded the game, and before it installed, said the screen was too small, but could install anyway. So i installed it, bought the game, and tried to load the game. It again said the Screen was too small and to make sure the resolution is atleast 1024x680 or something.

I when to the Desktop>RightClick>Settings and changed the pixels to 1600x1200. Applied it. Restarted the PC.

I still won't load. It seems like I cant get the bigger pixel size to stay, when though I apply it. When I got back to Settings, it's the old 1024 setting.

Any ideas?

Perhaps try to set it to full screen rather than windowed?

I'm not sure if you can even get the main screen up.

It has settings for 1600x1200 in game, so.. I dunno.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Edit: if you can't get it open at all, you could try going to Best Buy and just hooking it up to a display monitor or if you have a spare one around you can do that just to change the settings.

Any other ideas on how to get the game to fit my screen?

I tried looking for OOTP configuration in Programs but I guess this verion doesnt have it?

First check your OOTP preference using a desktop setting that will at least let you get to that screen. Then examine the OOTP preferences for you game resolution settings. Remember these settings will not apply until you leave the game and then start again. I'm fairly confident that the screen settings alone (on your PC) will need to work in tandem with the game settings themselves.

I'm not sure I'm picking up what you're laying down... lol

I can't even open up OOTP to get to the preferences in the game. Unless they are listed somewhere without having to open the game itself.

Try reviewing this for a possible mod of the config file:

OOTP Baseball Manual - App Config File

I realize you can't open the game (now), but you should be able to find this file by typing %appdata% in your Start/Run menu.
