Sorry if this is slightly OT, but I need help:

My old monitor gave up the ghost a weeks time ago, and I purchased an LG
Flatron ez T710BH.

When I start up Conquests, there's a black frame around the graphics - I
run my desktop with a standard res of 1152*864, as it looks much metter
than vanilla 1024*768.

My old monitor could store different resolutions and auto-change when
needed, but now it seems I have to fiddle around for several minutes with
the OSD to get the picture right.

Now to the question:
Is it possible to change CIV's resolution in an .ini-file or similar, and
if, what has to be changed? Any other solutions to this?

I own quite a few games, but the problem only occurs with CIV3.

Thanks for your response.

Hi
Yup this is very easy to do
Go to your civ3.ini or conquests.ini or whatever the PtW one is called (
Sorry have only run Conquests since last format, so haven't created older
ini files ) and add this line

KeepRes=1

Incidentally there are a few other ini file tweaks you can find them in the
latest patch Readme

There is an *.ini file in the Conquests directory. Can't remember the
exact name, or location (sorry).... but, if you add the following line
to it:

KeepRes=1

It will keep/use the resolution setting of your desktop when running
Civ. You might check the http://www.civfanatics.com site/forum(s).

Aye, thanks. I already got the answer in this thread, but thanks for the
effort.
