Hi, I'm having trouble starting the game..
After i start it, I get an error saying "To run this application, the resolution of the screen should not be less than 800x600"..
I have done all things nessesary to run in XP.. Changing compatibility and downloaded the latest patch (v1.2).
I don't know what it is, if its my widescreen, my graph gforce 8600 GT or dualcore.. Please help me, i love this game to much :p

My bet is the widescreen resolution is giving it fits.

I just recently reinstalled Mechwarrior 4 Mercs only to discover that I had to jump through more hoops than a circus lion to get it to work on my current computer. At least without everything being fat and ugly.

After 1 official patch, 3 unofficial patches, a registry edit, an uninstall, reinstall, repatching, and tweaking I finally got it to work... mostly. The combat looks fine now, but the between missions screen is kinda funky.

Long story short, old games hate teh widescreenz

Hm, is there a way to make the w-screen "act" like a normal screen just to make the game work? just realized there was a window-mode for the game as well, thought it should work with that, but still it didn't =/

Well... if you don't mind everything being short and fat and probably a bit ugly, you can set your resolution to 1024x768 in windows. That might work. If it doesn't then it probably isn't the widescreen causing the issue.

Download and use this patch:
http://telp.org/mm7/tavern/anyboard/posts/19648.html

Then right click on game executable and under Compatibility tab select "Windows 98/Windows ME" in "Compatibility Mode" Box

And make sure nothing is checked under "Display Settings"

Had same problem before doing the above, im running game fine under XP on a 24 inch Dell Widescreen...looks SWEET..

Good Luck

Yeah I have the same problem, but sometimes it seems to work for me.
I first started having it with Age of Empires II, which is understandable, being such an old game.
But then I started having the problem with Call of Duty 4 on my 22" widescreen.
No idea what it is, but it doesn't let me open the game for a while, then it randomly works :S

[*** up and randomly started the game but now after 50 tries i got tired of it. what shall i do? I also have some small lag when i tried to play "Left 4 Dead" dunno if it is something with my 3d thingy cause in "dxdiag" i tested the direct 3D and it randomly closed the tests for me and just told me "you touched a keyboard key" and all i can do is to press "ok". Also when that came up the "To run this application, the resolution of the screen should not be less than 800x600" came up in the background aswell. Please help!
